(I like that name, by the way! My only question is, why is Lisp your
favourite programming language?! :-))



I've learned a number of programming language, searching everytime for
a better one.  I've even started to design my own languages.
Eventually, I started to use emacs lisp and Common Lisp  and found the
_ultimate_ language, which frees my mind of that language quest I had.


Just because nobody's thought of anything better than Lisp doesn't make it the ultimate language.
