The unique nature of Lisp (?)
(via lemonodor)

An decent comp.lang.lisp thread discussing what makes Lisp unique.

A large part of the discussion is relevant to dynamic languages in general.

John linked to a message from Kent Pitman that is worth a look even if you don't have the inclination to wade through the entire thread.

I apologize for failing to give links to deep academic papers recently. It simply too hot around here to read or think about complicated stuff...
