Furthermore, I don't think the whole "I hate everything you said and I don't care a bit, but mayyybe if you're real nice you can try to convince me" shtick takes us in a productive direction. And as a last (and unrelated) point, I would say that embracing Lispy things, reading SICP, (writing your own eval :), et cetera makes you write better C programs even if you never touch Lisp again. Ignorance is never an advantage, whatever you're ignorant of. Being proud of it is just horrible. Best regards, Mate
