A new law?

No, an old law.

"Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp."

Since the quote is from 1993, you just need to replace C and Fortran by the languages of the day.

That's about the evolution of complicated programs, so quite different.

You'd be surprised how many language runtimes are complicated programs written in C....

But putting an s-expression front end on the language doesn't do anything to escape Greenspun, does it? Two different phenomena.
