Bearing this in mind, and hoping you can see where I'm coming from, I think my question is: shouldn't you guys be using Lisp?
Lisp is impure, weakly typed and has way too many parentheses. Why would we use lisp? It seems to be lacking almost all the advantages of Haskell, and have an ugly, inflexible syntax to boot.
The ability to dynamically generate, manipulate and analyse code in a
structured manner provides a flexibility which is unmatched by any
other language I know of.
A good example is Emacs; lisp is entirely the right language for that,
IMHO.
