He also calls Lisp "unsafe", and "LISP". Not good signs.
I was imitating the original poster by extrapolating large claims from small differences. I work on Racket. What I really meant is that side effects are not predominantly corralled using monads, but this is not a technical discussion.
Alright, cheers! :-)
I don't know, is it? Are there any specific features that we can point to and say -- "that's a Lisp" and "That's not a Lisp." Or is categorization instead primarily dependent on pedigree? If so, why do we care? What usefulness is this distinction aside from pedagogical purposes?
