It would not be difficult to add this feature to Lisp. > Another detail I like is that you can choose how to quote strings, in > Python you can write three double-quotes to start a string that can > include anything, quotes, doublequotes and newlines. > You can use double-quote if you want to embed single-quotes "john's" or > single-quote if you want to embed double-quotes '<id="2">'. You could add a reader macro in Lisp that allows you to do the same. At the moment I would say that one could pretty much add most Python features to Lisp. Be it slicing, list comprehension, or, if one wants, Pythons object system. On the other hand can I see difficulties in adding macros to Python, or inventing a new object system, or adding new keywords without changing the sources of Python itself.
