The Compleat Troller's Guide To C.L.L.

Excellent post Tin!

=== A note to the c.l.l. regulars

The idiot who is unable to use google might be
well served by another participant who *can* use google and is still
enthusiastic enough to help out. If you see a trivial technical
question, try to ignore it. It takes two to fan poor trolling and you
probably DO NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN SUCH NONSENSE.

Hear hear! I'm an example of the idiot who can not use google (see
"macros and lisp-2" posting of mine a few weeks back), Pascal is an
example of a very knowledgeable lispnik who *can* use google and is
tolerant of idiots and Kaz is the curmudgeon with a short fuse who,
underneath it all, has a heart of gold even if he does not suffer fools
willingly.

I must compliment c.l.l on the fairly low ratio of flames to serious
answers I got to my stupid question. Heck, even the spanking Kaz gave
me was useful.

I recently read about the benchmark above and boy did ocaml (and
stalin) kick Lisp's ass 3 ways to sunday.

You'd think Lisp could at least be competitive with Java on the
verbosity front if not beat it on performance. Is ocaml really that
much better than lisp? What major language features, if any are
present in CL and ocaml and not in the other (e.g. macros)?

Also, what is the secret of Stalin's success? Perhaps SBCL can be
converted to despotism and reap similar rewards.

(for all you other noobs who are even more clueless than I, that was an
example of "D-" trolling. I obviously have much to learn before I can
troll with the big boys)
