It takes a while (a couple months) to get used to reading things
upside-down, but I wouldn't want to go back. Knowing with certainty that
some called method is defined above in the compilation strategy simplifies
code-reading and comprehension by minimizing where you have to look, and it
also makes it easier to move stuff around with a text editor than what I
imagine the alternative would provide.
I haven't used a late-binding lisp in a large code-base, so I'm contrasting
against my experience with Java.
