Code == Data == Lisp fail

I've been following comp.lang.lisp for years now, and I can count on one finger the number of times I've seen anyone really wield the whole "code is data" bullshit, and the result was a hideous mess of obfuscation that no sane programmer would touch behind 7 proxies, not to mention it ran like sorghum in Greenland.

Clearly yet another major "advantage" of Lisp is proven to be worthless tripe from smug lisp weenies, wholly drunk to bursting on the koolaid.

OP may be trolling, but there's nothing intrinsically wrong with bringing up the issue of "code as data", and we actually got a couple of decent replies...albeit without much concrete to back it up.

Why the fuck are you people talking about FV?  The fact that you can't stop talking about him is sad...apparently he's under your skin, and continues to troll you without having to lift a finger.

I was glad for about four seconds that there was a thread about programming.  Now you've shitted it up.
