[C++] delete considered harmful

The unbridled use of the delete statement has as an immediate consequence that it becomes terribly hard to find a meaningful set of coordinates in which to describe the process progress. ... The delete statement as it stands is just too primitive, it is too much an invitation to make a mess of one's program.

Never use delete, use smart pointers, memory pools, stack allocations. Don't break RAII.

I'm using my own definitions because I'm smart unlike you.

Yes, in Common Lisp every form is a s-exp. The stuff you're wondering about like vectors are actually atoms, which makes them s-exps (although not every s-exp is an atom - is your pea-brain sufficient to understand this point?).

It is obviously not the same in Clojure. For instance the following is correct syntax there:

(let (x 5) (+ x 1))
(let ((x 5)) (+ x 1))

Instead, it forces you to use something that is not a s-exp:

(let [x 5] (+ x 1))

The creators of Clojure call it "extending the code-as-data system beyond parenthesized lists (s-expressions) to vectors and maps". This is obviously unhomogenous: not every form is a s-exp anymore, which is in stark contrast to Common Lisp and Scheme.
