I'm no Lisp guru, not even proficient but isn't saying that kind of missing a large point of Lisp in that code is data and data is a list/sexpresion or what ever it's called?

- flogic 17y agoFrom a Perl point of view, I think it's the right way to go. There are a few "standard" tricks to simulate extending Perl5, but they often feel hackish. From my understanding this will be more flexible and explicit. I don't have the Lisp experience to compare the two. My guess is Lisp macros will still be more flexible but the gap will be significantly narrowed.
