Lisp isn't perfect? Gasp.... (Score:1)

It is my contention that you don't know a programming language well enough until you have a deep understanding of its faults.

I've begun to learn Lisp, but I noticed so much Lisp advocacy (every language community does this) that I started to wonder what parts of the language weren't all roses and rainbows. Thank you for that link.

  I guess I should note that part of why the link is good is that it's not one-sided, it contains *discussion*. I'm more interested in hearing arguments from various perspectives then just finding out what's "wrong" with every language. :)
