Yesterday I learned about lisp's generic function and I am quite
impressed that there is different way to implement OO.
At university nobody told the students about the possible that methods
don't have to belong to classes (or I just wasn't there). I had a hard
time to understand this different concept, but I finally did.
That is why I consider Lisp consciousness-extending (at least for me).
And it is legal.
Cheers,
Nils

If you want your mind properly expanded about the meaning of
"object-oriented", see:

When Lisp is outlawed, only outlaws will have Lisp. ;-) Anyway,
welcome to the club.
