In the end, not only will Lisp survive, it will be the only survivor. Not its syntax, not its semantics, not its implementations, but its programming style. Those of us who are still around will say `I told you so' and `What took you so long'.

See no eval, hear no eval, speak no eval --- C/C++ lament.

The whole point of Lisp is that it _is_ a machine, not a language! You are _allowed_ to know how the machine works, and that makes all the difference.
