Lots of people would be happy to use lisp instead of Perl or other scripting languages.

For instance, the CPAN module Devel::Declare is a sad excuse for real lisp macros but, afaik, it is still better than most anything else.

(Lisp dialects are sadly seldom possible to use for lack needed libraries like good Unicode support, etc.)

(Btw, Mark Jason Dominus wrote "Higher-Order Perl" http://hop.perl.plover.com/)



I had one of those days where I read the publisher's name, not the author's. Sorry, Mr Dominus!
