I've worked on several large Lisp systems, and have never had this problem.
You can make a mess in any language. I will grant that Lisp offers more ways to do that than most languages, but so does C++ (template metaprogramming, anyone?).
- tumult 16y agoTemplate metaprogramming is awesome. All of the C++ messes I've seen are related to ridiculous OO crap.

- ScottBurson 16y agoWell, my point is that you can make a mess using template metaprogramming. Maybe that doesn't actually happen too often, because anyone smart enough to use TMP at all is smart enough not to make a mess :) But you're right, the actual messes I've seen in C++ have not involved TMP. Come to think of it, most of them have been around "const" misuse.
