It's worth reading the Abstract Heresies' entry that turned my attention to this paper: http://funcall.blogspot.com/2010/05/c-vs-lisp.html http://funcall.blogspot.com/2010/05/c-vs-lisp.html (After giving it a thought I posted this entry to HN too, as I probably should have done in the first place... :)) The date is interesting, 1992 - it would still take years for Java to implement it...wrong.
