> What happens when you remove those platform constraints? What happens when you say, we started off with lisp but we’ve ended up with something quite bespoke? i think lisp is very nicely structured so that you only allow a certain subset to be used according to seniority. if you have good development paractices at hand, then even if you have a very bespoke program it will be well documented and anything ecentric is explained lisp is indeed very powerful, but so is c++ for example. the difference is that the syntax of lisp allows you to be neater where you want power and more conservative where you don't, far more easily
