Though it's pretty ridiculous that a mainstream Lisp dialect is that way, of all things.

No, especially in a language like C that has much bigger problems (I don't think there's ever been a nontrivial C program that has defined behaviour according to the standard), but it's one more papercut. > Though it's pretty ridiculous that a mainstream Lisp dialect is that way, of all things. I don't think I'd call any Lisp dialect "mainstream".
- kazinator 1y agoRegarding that last bit; yes, that's a kind of contextual phraseology used by Lisp people sometimes in reference to the major Lisps. Among the "streams" in the Lisp landscape, those are the main ones.
