what is the comparison between lisp and other imperative language like
C and Pascal? This comparison should concern to their features not the

C features:
- geeky look
- Memory leaks
- unportabilities
- unreported integer overflows
- locust swarms

Pascal features:
- type profusion

Lisp features:
- less fat
- more filling
- world peace
- RPLACD

I think you're confusing lisp with nutella.  I understand,
I frequently make that mistake myself!
