Did you find out you were the illegitimate child of your mom who
once had a tryst with Common Lisp? It is the only explanation of your
vehemence. I could see the cultural problem of being a half-breed in
an Algol-68 world and how it can be the source of your disdain for CL.

You often see it in times of war: Half Vietnamese, Half Japanese,
Half Orc.

No one side wants to accept the impropriety...

Maybe this is why a staunch Ruby advocate hangs out in comp.lang.lisp.

comp.lang.ruby rejected you worse.
