>Power is a weakness in a programming language, not a strength The truth is that Lisp is not the right language for any particular problem. Rather, Lisp encourages one to attack a new problem by implementing new languages tailored to that problem. Such a language might embody an alternative computational paradigm […] A linguistic approach to design is an essential aspect not only of programming but of engineering design in general. Perhaps that is why Lisp […] still seems new and adaptable, and continues to accommodate current ideas about programming methodology. - Lisp: A language for stratified design http://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/1721.1/6064/2/AIM-986.pdf http://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/1721.1/6064/2/AIM-986.pdf
