- hga 17y agoNot really, unless page count is your only metric. If you've read any of Steele's other language definition books (I've read all of the first Common Lisp one and some of the Java 3rd edition), you'll see it's clearly in the same style as the others. Also not entirely like the Scheme Revised Reports, which really set the standard for conciseness ^_^.
