Do you think the magic fairies are doing it for you? Your interpreter/runtime is still doing it whether you're aware of it or not.

My point is very simple: I can do it too, in any language I want, and so there's nothing special about lisp.

The big difference is: "I can do it too" means YOU need to do it. Lisp does it for me already, I have not to do anything. I don't want to know what you claim you can do with C++, show me where C++ does it for you.

Telling me "I can do it too" is not a good answer. Show me where the language implementation (!) does it for you.
