Nonsensical. Perl has most of the lispish features of lisp. There is no re-implementation.
Here's a better rule: "Any sufficiently useful Lisp program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of standard perl and the best CPAN modules."
- rplevy 18y agoThat's also nonsensical though. I think most useful Lisp programs will probably run faster in Lisp. Trying to fake defmacro alone in Perl will be probably be a waste of time and ultimately result in following the original Greenspun rule.
