At what point did I say "most data will live in cons structures"? And I explicitly said I would not use them for everything. And no, it isn't just "Lisp-the-mathematical-model", cons cells have real-world implications to the language. I was going to suggest watching the video presentation "The Swine Before Perl", by Shriram Krishnamurthi, but alas I can't find a link to the video (which is sad, because it is a very entertaining and informative video). The slides are here: ( http://ll1.ai.mit.edu/shriram-talk.pdf http://ll1.ai.mit.edu/shriram-talk.pdf ), but without the talk they may do you no good. Hopefully someone will see this and add a link to the video ( it should be made available again, even after all of this time, it is still great -- I believe I saw it as recently as 2 years ago).
