I saw this comment on Planet Lisp:

I certainly agree that the mismatch between memory and CPU performance supports the conclusion of the paper -- tagged memory and micro-programming would probably be beneficial in a big way. (Of course, given how manystupid buffer overrun viruses there are these days, it's hard to believe that anybody can still think that not having manifestly-typed data is defensible.)

The term manifest typing must mean something different in the Lisp world than what it means to me....
