> There are likely some differences between POSIX wc and this, involving how characters are treated as words, but I'm uncaring. I'd rather argue the former is erroneous in its treating of punctuation as ``words'', but it's largely irrelevant for the purpose. > A criticism would be pointing out that the C program must initialize and parse arguments and other such things, and yet I believe this is more points for the Common Lisp than against, as it's entirely unreasonable to waste so many resources for such a trivial result. The author should make up their mind whether they're comparing programming languages or more high-level design decisions (should functionality deserve its own executable, etc). In the current form, I can't see a strong point made regarding either of these questions.
