@eli_oat @technomancy @csepp pg is notably full of shit a lot of the time. arc & bel are really bad Lisps, and can't even run without an obsolete version of Racket, which is super funny (there's fan efforts to modernize that). And I'm very unfond of Common Lisp, from what little I've done with it.
But somewhere in there is some truth: Scheme is just amazingly cool, and practical if you're willing to get a little dirty. Pre-Common Lisp was so superior to '80s C or Pascal…
