    Is Lisp a reputable language?

    "Simplify after the function is correct" applies to a lot more than the
    code you'll write in the recipe book.

    "Just because it works, doesn't mean it's correct."

    Hell, after reading those again, I think the authors are teaching maturity Don't bother with wahat other people think.

    Don't even assume that any language is blessed.

    Lisp is brilliant, but not blessed.

    I love the correctness first approach, but very few languages
    are going to be both this and beginner friendly.

    Lisp, or at least any existing dialect, doesn't fit it's own ideals, it seems.

    But no one is really crying.
    At eleast
    not anyone that I know.
