I was really hoping to end this, but I cannot allow this libel to | go unchallenged. It was a fair summary of your position. That you do not like it when you see what you do with other people's eyes does not make it "libel". | (It is becoming increasingly clear that I won't find them here.) Let me get this straight. You think that Common Lisp needs to improve before it can be used for certain tasks, so you go use Python. However, _other_ people should listen to your whining about how you had to choose Python for those tasks and spend the energy to improve Common Lisp -- instead of just using Python like you did? The premises that would need to be added to this mess to make it appear to make sense are unfit for print. /// -- In a fight against something, the fight has value, victory has none.
