It's very old Lisp experience from the days when Common Lisp and Scheme were new fads, when Lisp machines were still a thing, and had to be rebooted on a daily basis to keep them running.

Was Lisp ever a fad? I’m shocked to hear that. Seriously!

I only got into Lisp after several years of mild nagging by one of my former employees, who studied Lisp and Proof Systems for his graduate CS Degree from U.Oregon, sometime back in the early 80’s, late 70’s. Turns out everything he said was true, and more.
