Hince my reference to good enough and rubber wall of Lisp. Lisp is not one thing. Its a collection of collections of things capable of being indefinitely morphed by itself. ANSI C is bad enough without those kinds of problems.
Incidentally I have written several efficient and effective parsers and compilers in both Pascal and ANSI C. I found them quite good enough. I have a hard time seeing Lisp as little more than a big brother to Forth. I see both of them as wonderful solutions to the wrong problems. At least to probelms I don't have nor want to solve.
