And it works, instead of being buggy as hell and prone to name capture
issues, and Java codebases aren't chock full of idiosyncratic macro
invocations but are instead pretty standardized, so any skilled Java
professional can easily read any of that code and maintain it.

Sounds like Lisp easily turns into a Tower of Babel where no-one can
understand anyone else's code.

Something familiar in how you write. You remind me of someone I had a
very long argument with here, long ago. Appropriately, his name was
"Bent".

"Klunky kludge" is obviously in the eye of the beholder, if you think

There *is* no doubt, in most cases, for anyone who's graduated from
kindergarten.

"Readable" is obviously also in the eye of the beholder. :P

And now we're back to this. To satisfy your macro yen, you make the

A single point we agree on! Wow. :P

hardly an "argument", more like snot trying to find a

yet you blow in again, "projectile non gratis".
you really should bring back Seamus MacRae more

indeed.  figured why that is?

Think why it is Google posters are universally loathed, dipshit.
"debate" that Usenet fact.

here is what BD had to say about you right before you earned your 
k00k award as "Clueless Newbie of the Month", to then get a citation 
with the Tin Foil Sombrero for stupidity beyond the pale.

as BD says... "Some might think this is fatalism. I think it's just Usenet"
Usenet built to sort out fucktards fucking with newsgroups, as you do.

Lisps tend to accrue fairly standard libraries of third-party macros 
everyone learns to recognize. And of course you usually have access to 
the macro's source.

The ability to define functions or classes already suffices to allow 
programmers to turn a language into a Tower of Babel, yet nearly all 
languages allow user-defined functions and/or classes in some form or 
another, and ones that allow neither are considered archaic and crippled.

Quick quiz: without referring to the JLS, other Sun/Oracle docs, 
Wikipedia, or Google, which has precedence: the cast operator or the dot 
(method invocation) operator?

Perhaps. Verbose, on the other hand, isn't, and Java is quite verbose at 
any given level of expressiveness compared to, especially, Lisps.

I don't think so.

Do point at any proof there is a missing name of "murphy".

FYI.
It is the naive who approach Usenet with a concept of anonymity
as protection around the intent to disrupt. Paranoia for them comes 
later, too late in many instances. You Master Derbyshire are a prime example of
that stupidity.

Almost set in stone is the attribute of low self esteem owned by
the common <i>rodentis trollis maximus</i>. Well earned is the lame "trailer park 
trash" for which that broken Winnebago is pretty much symbolic of all you
post in your insane desire to be wanted by the folks you believe have code skills 
which challenge your empty taunts.

What is not known yet is how the Pembroke community will handle
knowing your Usenet  activity. The print press grinds slowly but inevitably.
do put some thought to how the superintendent at IBGC will view your activity 
knowing you are in fact quite insane.

Having read that post it is noted you selectivity edit to reach 
your point of speculation

"My first post as "murphy".
MID: <h2bjon$vtc$1@news.eternal-september.org>
You just read my last."

It is very obvious from murphy's first post to see that poster is 
a "helper". What happened to turn the poster off, Derbyshire?
Do tell. You threatened murphy with one of your kootSoots?

Ironic as your closing line is too a lie.
Master Derbyshire demands the last word.
It is your trademark - now, deliver it.

if you've filed false police complaints against its inhabitants, murphy, 
there are likely to be consequences. For you, murphy.

If you are lucky, murphy, they will realize you're a paranoid 
schizophrenic, haul you to a mental hospital, and get you the treatment 
you desperately need.

If you are unlucky, murphy, they'll simply arrest you and charge you 
with misdemeanor obstruction of justice. You'll probably get off with 
only a fairly hefty fine, murphy, but if it's a repeat offense, and 
given your paranoia and already-demonstrated flooding of ISP admins with 
huge volumes of repeated false complaints that seems fairly likely, you 
could get jail time, murphy.

"Having access to" and "being able to read and understand" can
sometimes be worlds apart. In my years of working with other peoples'
code, I've seen shit that will turn you white. Also check out The
Daily WTF.

Call semantics for functions are well defined -- argument evaluation,
etc. Those for macros are pretty much arbitrary -- whatever the macro
author intended. (Or didn't, but caused anyway.)

A car without an automatic ignition would also be considered archaic

be.

Fortunately, standard library macros don't tend to be terrible like that

A specious argument. What a function's results are is just as arbitrary, 
but we accept functions.

No, no, a thousand times no! None of the nasty things that you have

Need I remind you once again of your own bugabear, the LOOP macro?

No. None of the nasty things that you have said or implied about me
are at all true.

> What a function's results are is just as arbitrary, but we accept functions.

The behavior with respect to argument evaluation isn't arbitrary. And
functions don't potentially behave differently if one of the arguments
contains an expression with a variable with one name, versus a
semantically equivalent expression with another name.

For example, in Java if I have

int x = 3;
int y = someObj.someMeth(x);

and change it to

int z = 3;
int y = someObj.someMeth(z);

the semantics doesn't change. But if someMeth was replaced with
someLispMacro, that might no longer be the case if the macro has
internal local variables named x or z.

To make it even more concrete, suppose someMeth is a static method of
SomeClass rather than an instance method of someObj and it's

public static void someMeth (int a) {
    int z = 18;
    return z*a;
}

(trivial, yes, and no real need for the local, but just for argument's
sake).

This will work fine with the second call above (if someObj is of
SomeClass): you'll get 54 returned.

But what happens if it's made into a macro instead, which inlines the
above code? Then it performs substitution rather than passing
arguments in a function-calling manner and ends up as

int z = 18;
return z*x;

or

int z = 18;
return z*z;

and we get 54 with the first call above but 324 instead with the
second one!

Again, you may have some klunky method to namespace the local z here
to make name collisions like this less likely, but accidents can and
will happen and the resulting bugs will be exceptionally difficult to
track down because a widespread programmer expectation is violated.
Indeed who will think to see if changing the *name* of a variable in
the calling procedure will magically fix it?

Macros are hardly like fuel injection.

I think the appropriate term here is "erroneous presupposition". We're
discussing Lisp vs. other languages in a comp.lang.* newsgroup. It's
not really even off-topic, since Java is one of those "other
languages".
