in thread A Macro System for Perl?

I don't disagree on the power of compiliation. I come from a low level programming background originally. (Video drivers, graphics engines.) I was under the false impression that most Lisps are interpreted.

As an aside, this is IMHO one of the better threads to come across the Monastery in a bit.

    The one thing to keep in mind is that Lisp and its descendant Scheme are the darlings of the Scary Smart people and, as such, gets a fair amount of research work thrown at them. And undergrad/grad student slave labor. (Never under (or over) estimate the power of student slave labor! :)
