I seem to recall something about C programs becoming bug ridden implementations of half of Common Lisp

• wolfgke 11y ago
  This is Greenspun's tenth rule (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenspun%27s_tenth_rule https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenspun%27s_tenth_rule): "Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp."

    The Morris corollary: "Including Common Lisp." http://paulgraham.com/quotes.html http://paulgraham.com/quotes.html

      Can also be read on the wikipedia link that I posted. :-)

    I've asked for examples of this in the past and nobody's been able to provide any.
