    1. CO@Kalec Noticing missing parens is easy if you don't look for them, and instead look at the indentation. Believe it or not, in lisp they aren't as important as they are in other languages, they are used only do delimit expressions. Programmers look at the indentation, and they let their editor worry about it, and about matching parenthesis. That is why lispers will tell you to never leave parens on their own lines, it makes them much more important than they actually are. Check out http://www.cliki.net/Programming%20style

    2. COThe important thing about lisp is abstraction, not implementation. The need for simplicity of the implementation is mostly irrelevant next to the need for simplicity of the abstraction. Take eval, you can fit its definition on a blackboard, but the only thing its useful for is teaching you about one aspect of computation, namely recursively defining something in itself. The usefulness of that knowledge is much less than the usefulness of what eval enables.

    3. COI've been playing with Restas for a while now. Why i like it: 1) As the name suggests it encourages restful design 2) Its simple, if you think in terms of MVC its pretty much just the C part, and done pretty well. 3) Its very flexible 4) I find its concept of routes superior to the way Django does its dispatch using regular expressions(although i think it got that good idea from rails) 5) You can structure your site in modules and then mount them at specific urls, again, superior to Djangos way of organizing apps in a project of using a spaghetti bow of url.py files. 6) its lisp :)
