But the fact that most people aren't geniuses shows that being a genius doesn't confer that much of an evolutionary advantage. In fact it might even be evolutionarily negative - in general, more years of academic education correla

One difference that stands out here is that in the original code, the methods "node->next" and "node->edit" both belong to a "node" namespace, so you could have other objects with the same method name, e.

Common Lisp has a really tiny community despite showing up a lot on hacker news (the shadow of Paul Graham talking it up years ago?) It's not even in the top 50 GitHub languages. And today I learned its main web server library Hunchent

Yeah, reminds me of the Silicon Valley quote about how revenue is never enough and it's better to be a "pre-revenue" pure play. Star Citizen is a "pre-product" pure play.
