Kaz's point is that NewLisp is slightly confusing, but it's not, not incredibly, so I don't see that point. I think terminology's important, but that particular instance isn't. As for why people complain about calling things Lisps, it's a mystery to me. Now complaints about calling Racket Scheme, OTOH, I get. Scheme has a specification which Racket doesn't comply to: they changed the name for a reason when they started to deviate. Calling Racket Scheme is like seeing a language that's kind of similar to C and just calling it C.
