>>4Could it be Lisp does have some "abstraction creep" effect where lispers, used to build elaborate multi-level function-passing abstractions, expect every person capable of understanding/enjoying their contraptions?
Its seems common with haskell usergroups, where they compete on how much they can code golf a function, so people would treat them as abstraction wizards. Real world requires maintenance and patching, which such contraptions can't support because you
can't understand the pile of abstractions just at a glance.
