Agreed! There are a couple of really clever xkcd comics about this (google: xkcd lisp). And I also would rather use PATH than default-pathname-defaults and logical pathnames are, uh, crufty. But I see these as minor blemishes on what I think is as close to a perfect programming language as I have seen. Clasp is an implementation of Common Lisp and any differences between what it does and what the standard says is a bug in Clasp that we need to fix. But Cando, Clasp+computational chemistry code, is a superset of Common Lisp and we are adding things to make life a bit more convenient. We even added optional infix arithmetic as a standard part of Cando (I know! I'm going to burn in hell between the ninth nested set of parentheses as a heretic). |
