There's also this quote from Knuth, https://web.archive.org/web/20120220134333/http://www.inform... :
"I also must confess to a strong bias against the fashion for reusable code. To me, “re-editable code” is much, much better than an untouchable black box or toolkit. I could go on and on about this. If you’re totally convinced that reusable code is wonderful, I probably won’t be able to sway you anyway, but you’ll never convince me that reusable code isn’t mostly a menace."
He is probably not alone, so this "curse" is has never restricted to Lisp.
