Programmers holding back programming? surely not, it's not like we haven't known that for
decades I like the way he decides to take on "LISP[sic] Triumphalists", when the same is found in
every language and
every programming community. But hey, it's OK, the "Smug Lisp Weenie" is enough of a retarded folk memory that Lispers are acceptable targets.

I've seen various kinds of code duplication in Scheme libraries, sometimes even somewhat excessive, which could easily be handled by a CL one-liner.
An example? It could probably be done just as easily in Scheme. There are some things CL provides that Scheme doesn't, that may make some kinds of code duplication less likely, e.g. CLOS, but I doubt that it's the rule rather than the exception.
PG hates CL
Oh and how. It's just a shame that far too many programmers think PG is the canonical lisper.
