> Scheme and Lisp programmers who are biased Because we know what it is like to work in a medium that can be understood, behaves correctly, isn't peppered with inconsistencies, and does not force you to clutter your brain with pointless trivia. Call that bias if you will. > the quirkiness of many compiler systems out there will drive good engineeers to simplify that process There is no evidence that this is happening or will ever happen.

Programming systems are continuously growing more Byzantine and idiotically laden with accidental complexity as feature is piled on top of feature. This is how we got Python, C++, Java, C#, et al.
