strict answer: they are very deep.
informal coffee break answer: abstracted layers of abstracted abstraction within parametrized abstractions just don't feel right to lispers.
- Bost 4y agoFYI you're writing this post on a device which is a product of millions of ideas and inventions all of them refined, abstracted and parametrized thousands of times, if not even more.
- vkazanov 4y agoHave you ever seen Java/Clojure stacks? :-) My browser is cpp program. Say, 10 layers are typical. Then, there's a libc + ui linux code. Usually in c, so even less layers. Say, 10 more. Then, there are sycalls annoying the kernel from time to time. Pretty shallow, btw, 5. That's 30 roughly speaking. Maybe 40. Java + clojure combo is not impressed, not at all.
