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.

>>5 has never seriously considered the flaws of Lisp, thus his opinion is invalid.

In the same way that lurking c.l.l does not make you a Lisper if you're not one already, lurking /jp/ does not make you japanese if you're not one already, lurking /prog/ doesn't let you disregard facts no matter how inconvenient they are.
