Lol. Don't take it seriously. I've never really used Basic and while I tried dove into Java with a lot of enthusiasm (as I did with C++ after feeling I was very good with C), I really couldn't continue---too much bureaucracy, I felt. > At least we have got some nice abbreviated forms for regex elements > from Perl; mostly syntactic sugar, maybe, but very useful, IMO.

In ``Let Over Lambda'', Doug Hoyte guides you into implementing this side of Perl in Common Lisp. In the prerequisites, he shows very neat ideas in macro writing.
