Paths to Enlightenment

It's helpful to think of programming languages as paths to enlightenment.

C is being a hermit in the desert. You eat grasshoppers and honey and learn to do everything with what you have.

C++ is self-flagellation locked in your chamber in the monastery. Surely if I try really hard while ignoring the pain, I will be enlightened. Re-examine my beliefs? Laughable! That would show lack of faith.

How is it Schemeish? The damn thing has dynamic scope all over it, making closures and other things Scheme is good at, much harder to make. Common Lisp only has optional dynamic scope when you need it, and Scheme doesn't have dynamic scope, but has something called fluid-let.
