Thanks for this explanation. It was very helpful. In terms of magic I meant it simply as how big is the set of unchangeable axioms, as opposed to how many things are derived in the language itself from a more minimal set of magical axioms. With Lisp being the language with the least magic lisp for C programmers was insightful!
