Which camp is worse? The Smalltalk people or the LISP people? It seems that both those groups just love to say “we did 20 (or 50) years ago.”

That said - I’m reading Paul Graham’s “On LISP” book and I think I’ll be brushing up my LISP skills. I’ve found LISP code to be a whole lot less repugnant than I remember it to be from school. Maybe Java softened me up to Python, but it seems that Python has softened me up to LISP.
