You have a narrow view of "proper hacker talks" and the purpose of the Chaos Computer Club. The congress is representative for what is of interest for CCC members.

There are code bases for SINGLE Lisp applications which go into several million lines of code. For example PTC's CAD system had several years ago >7 million lines of Common Lisp.

For me containment is important. (a (b)) -> (b) is inside a. Also that the whole form is enclosed in parentheses. If I move the mouse over a form, the whole form can be selected. (pipe (a 1 2 3) (b 4 5 6 7)) If I m

it's "meta" programming, since Lisp macros do source transformations: code to new code. So one writes code which will rewrite code. For example some programming language lacks a control structure one would want. Instead of wa
