Comment on List Comprehensions in Eight Lines of Clojureparent

Comments

yes and no. Yes, because the example is a novel language feature in other languages that would be very difficult to implement. No, because these sorts of things are easy only when code is data, like lists, which is a design property of lisps, but not really captured within 'list processing'. I think perhaps there could exist a language that says it's good at lists and data without the macro system that makes this possible.
