I suspect any Lisp is a Turing tarpit.

  > A Turing tarpit (or Turing tar-pit) is any programming language or computer interface that allows for flexibility in function but is difficult to learn and use because it offers little or no support for common tasks. Which common task could you not perform with Lisp?And if you are stressing on the `Little or no support`,then thats true any of the lesser popular languages isn't it?

  Are you sure you don't mean any Lisp is a Turing Carpet, with all those curling parenthesis nestled warmly together like deep twisting loops of shaggy pile?
