Interestingly, the article users the nowadays standard 4-equation form of the Maxwellian concept - but Maxwell himself used 20 equations [1]. The current version is due to Oliver Heaviside (who doesn't get enough respect for this). As I understand things, Maxwell's work was held in high regard, but only became usable due to Heaviside's reformulation. Whether that aspect (beautiful but unusable) is true and carries over to Lisp... dunno, I'm insufficiently familiar with Lisp. But the xkcd with brackets [2] comes to mind.
