this critique seems to be of the kind of lisp you find in introductory textbooks on scheme
most lispers like to play around with syntax, doing that in haskell usually results in write-only code
- willtim 10y agoYes the critique is from an educational perspective. Many, especially in academia, view syntactic abstraction as a method of last resort, so it doesn't feature in the courses. So one might ask why then suffer the syntax of scheme if macros are never used?
