The actively hostile to collaborative programming seems particularly misguided. Even an extreme case like the code from hu.dwim, which is written in practically a new language they built on top of CL and has barely any documentation is still fairly easy to understand.

In fact, I often find function calls harder to grok now than custom macros :)
