>So an annoyance that Common Lisp programmers can resolve for themselves within five minutes plagues Java programmers for years

I get the sentiment, but this is seriously advocating for unmaintainable code that likely breaks in strange corner cases and requires 10 times as long for a new person to the code base to understand.

First contributor, "I know my code should be able to handle out of memory errors in this corner case, but I know I won't use it that way so it shouldn't be an issue."

Second contributor, "Hey this macro from First contributor looks nice, I'm going to use it."

A pile of shit emerges.
