Conversely, he may have described what likes and does not like about
Common Lisp, and then decided to do something about the "not-likes",
and designed Arc.
And yes, one could do similar things wrt Forth, and its dialects.
Typically, people have been more on the "do" side than on the "write"
side of this (e.g., Chuck Moore, Hans Bezemer, Slava Pestov, Ron
Aaron, Franck Benunsan), with Hugh Aguilar being the exception that
proves the rule.
