Oh well, I was hoping for side-by-side code comparisons.
- brlewis 19y agoSide-by-side comparisons wouldn't help much. Either it would be an example where you want hygiene, and the Scheme version would look way better, or it would be an example where you don't want hygiene, and the CL version would look way better. Not having hygiene can be convenient, e.g. if you want to introduce a binding that will be used by the calling code, and don't want the calling code to have to specify the variable name every time, e.g. the aif macro.
