I don't know why you created this, but years ago when I used to write software, I often felt like I was the only person in the world who actually liked both c++ and lisp.

@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

Lisp and Algol we're contemporaneous
