For somebody with 15 years of Lisp experience he sure managed to mention the most trivial use of macros.


Public language changes are usually just trolling for the love of a community; it's like those public "converters" who go from one mainstream, often Abrahamic, religion to another.

The rest of us just rewrite the critical stuff in whatever that's the most efficient, and the non-critical stuff in whatever that's easiest.

Oh screw this! Guys, I just converted from Common Lisp to CSS! The cascade is like OOP inheritance, without the annoying CLOS multiple-inheritance and over-configurable multiple dispatch. It has keyword methods, :hover, :active, etc, I can even implement list processing with getElementById! Take that, you Lisp weenies!


Well, look at the comments. Things get a little deeper there.
