«except, of course, for #CommonLisp which is a complete baroque mess.»
This is a big exaggeration.
«`#$(words)`»
This is not standard Common Lisp.

@vnikolov@ieji.de @simon_brooke@mastodon.scot I think I understand the confusion ! Sharpsign S is a reader macro (no real relation to macros) https://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/02_dhm.htm . Compare sharpsign o, sharpsign equals, sharpsign sharpsign, sharpsign a... #S(words :words-seen (foo bar baz)) Is short for (make-words :words-seen '(foo bar baz)) People often dis/like some of these. Simon pines for interlisp do-what-I-mean records. My friend Ksaj just hates 1/2 fractions. (/ 1 2) ! @ramin_hal9001@fe.disroot.org @D@mastodon.scot
