Lisp is a pretty interesting language, but it was never
standardized to the extent that we expect of languages today. Look
at the Common Lisp spec, and it still retains a lot of baggage to
maintain compatibility with obsolete OSes that simply donrCOt matter
any more.

And also, which particular Lisp do you want to learn? There are a
number in common use today:

* In the rCLLisp-2rCY camp: Emacs Lisp, SBCL
* In the rCLLisp-1rCY camp: GNU Guile

And thatrCOs just what I think of as the most notable ones.

Guile and every other Scheme it's both lib, SRFI and R_RS
incompatible with each other. CL with ANSI and the HyperSpec in the
end can be ironicaly much smaller and compact.

But is it any better for compatibility? What are these rCLANSIrCY and rCLHyperSpecrCY you talk about? Are they additional, shall we say
informal, attempts at standards beyond Common Lisp?

Lawrence, Lawrence, Lawrence. Nobody cares about anything you have
to say on any subject. You thump the standard in comp.lang.c, yet here
in comp.lang.lisp, you don't even know there's an official standard for
Common Lisp? No wonder you don't thump it!

Now, please head yourself over to the A.N.S.I. bookstore, and buy the
standard. The P.D.F. is only USD $70, and based on your previous pur-
chase history at S.C.O., you can well afford it.

Then print it out, and lick it, like the standard thumping slut you are!
