For the record, I did not submit this article, and specifically declined a request to do so. It's not that I don't stand by what I wrote (I do) but it was written for a specific audience at a specific time and I don't think it deserves the attention that it's getting now.
Nice to see you here, Lisper. Thank you for a nice writeup. If anything, it only heated up my desire to finally learn the language. Somehow it seems that getting disappointed in Lisp is very hard: people get disappointed in their other favorite languages much more easily and they sound more convincing in their blogs. I wish you had your contact information in your profile, I would have asked a couple of questions.

How about if we request you to give us some real examples? Please... Pretty please... :)
Or you could write an update for this new audience you've suddenly found.
Working on it.
