It's actually how lisp plans to take over.. Enough implementations and before you know it you have enough lispers to eclipse all other programmers

All of them writing code that doesn't work for the other's little islands.

It sounds like the Discordian battle cry: united we fall, divided we stand!

and then one day, a Lisp will be created amongst all Lisps

One Lisp to rule them all, One Lisp to find them, One Lisp to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

I think we'll be led by a programmer from another language who comes and unites the tribes against the languages that now dominate, a voice from the outer world. The "Lispan al-Gaib", if you will.

I think I'll call my next Lisp implementation Eclispe.

Then, conquer the web with ecljspe.
