CL's iteration primitives are more capable that those provided by most languages, which often makes for a very clean approach. Recursion is sometimes the easiest way to reason about a problem though, so it's nice to have decent s

I think hosted is almost tautologically a mixed bag - you get access to the host (both +ves and -ves) but you also introduce a layer and some invariable friction.
