This is classic community trolling behavior, Andrew.
You post something inflammatory, questioning the core value of our
project, without a clear argument about why it article relevant, and
then step away to let a monster thread consume everything, as people
try to work out what your point was, not trying to argue a point, or
other wise participate.
Doing this, year after year, is bad for -cafe@ and bad for the
community, and why I don't use -cafe@ for problem solving anymore.

Och Mr Coppin
Lisp is a fine language, but all "Lisp" essays you'll find on the internet except Richard Gabriel's "Worse is Better" are absolute tosh.
Read Olin Shiver's introduction to SRE regex notation for an intelligent contribution to the "6 different libraries" problem you seem to be having, rather than some cargo cultist muddy thinking.

By the way, referencing the original article circa half way down - didn't Mark P. Jones write Gofer and the original Hugs by himself - people actually used those rather than Qi.
