Totally agree with you. In fact feature and syntax bloat seems common is most popular languages today, like Javascript, C#, Python or even C++, as they keep adding things to compete with new languages like Rust or Swift (and these languages keep adding new things on every iteration too). It's very tiring to keep up.

Which is the amazing part of lisps. Syntactic changes can be implemented as libraries. You have to have some idea of what is a macro and what isn't, but following the rule "if it can be written a a procedure, write it as a procedure" has never failed me.

The world's best OOP-system (CLOS) was conceived using macos.
