Agreed with your last point. I have read about people who loved Lisp so much, that they wrote Lisp to write programs in other languages for them. Two cases: * http://www.merl.com/papers/TR93-17/ (Lisp to Pascal) * Erik Naggum told of his dissatisfaction with C++, and wrote Lisp to do his job for him.

Well, the first is more of a demo, actually.
