  A large number of strongly negative comments about Common Lisp that I can
  see absolutely no reason for.  He has obviously made up his mind not to
  like Common Lisp regardless of what can be done with it to accomodate his
  needs.  Like most language re-designers, he needs a new language instead
  of working within an existing one.  This is a pretty silly mistake, and
  not a credit to his thinking.
