To add confusion to this, I'm a somewhat "in between" type and find
the Lisps ambiguity quite charming. If I had to describe where I
see myself, I'd say "functional in the large, indulging imperatives
in the small" or something.
Yes, quite. Is it a good time to ask, since we're all huggy wuggy about Lisp's inclusive style, why the new Scheme stuff gets a namespacing hall pass while the CL stuff was all banished to akward prefix-land?
