Before anybody goes in, let me warn you that Erik is a very well known
idiot who isn't going to change his prejudices. His view of the world
and reality are a long way apart. Most readers of c.l.lisp know that,
and accept his help when it is useful and ignore his rantings
otherwise (hmmm). As a lover of both Lisp and Perl I implore you to
leave this one alone unless the FUD is thrown around too heavily.

If you read between the lines you'll find it is the same rant against
software engineering reality which often falls out of ivory towers or
those who wish they were back there.
