I use languages without GC, but I don't manually collect my garbage. What's the worst that could happen?

Nothing! Such excellent languages generate no garbage!

That somehow your app becomes popular, it stops being a mere `app' but instead a `platform' and shit gets built on top of it, and a million /prog/s cry in their sleep working on your platform.

Cool! Here's a good example of what you want:



(defun dot-print (x)

  (if (or (zerop x)

      (minusp x))

      nil

      (progn

    (format t ".")

    (dot-print (1- x)))))

Your code is shit.

(defun dot-print (x)

  (when (plusp x)

    (format t ".")

    (dot-print (1- x))))

or even

(defun dot-print (x)

  (dotimes (i x)

    (format t ".")))

[code]
dot_print = lambda x: print ("." * x) if x > 0 else None
[code]
Lisp is such crap that even python3 is better. And that's horrible.
