Thanks, that was a very interesting blog post. I feel like the comments add a lot of balance to the discussion (especially Pascal's, which Steve also mention in the blog itself). There's no doubt that lisp has its problems, because if not, it would be a lot more popular today than is the case. Do note however, that a lot has changed since Steve posted that blog entry, most notably is the rise of clojure, which offers solutions to a lot of the problems mentioned.
