@llewelly lisp and C++ are siblings in that they are both descendants of ALGOL, both emphasize metaprogramming, and no other languages can really compete when it comes to generics.
Lisp, of course does this all better, but with garbage collection. But there has to be a not-GC'd lisp thats better out there. Whether thats prescheme or #carp, im not sure, as i still havent tried either
@rmerriam @llewelly sorry I meant scheme and c++
