I stopped reading at the exact same place and I'm still considering going back to the article to read the rest of it. I don't know, maybe later - which means that I probably won't read it. Calling people who disagree with a specific coding convention idiots was irritating, but it at least had a bit of merit - namely that 'readability counts' and that the code is more readable if it's written in consistent style. The remark about linked lists in Lisps is both irritating and untrue. If even Schemes (I know. I just wrote a cute, little, hobby project in Racket and I used a list twice (by accident)) routinely deal with vectors and hashes then I can only imagine how many different builtin datastructures have CL (or Clojure) programmers at their disposal. It probably was meant as a joke. Ok - it just isn't the sense of humor I share, that's all.
