I'm impressed with lambda calculus as a mathematical formalisms and its equivalence with TMs, and I am impressed but not overly enamored with homoiconicity & metaprogramming/macros. I like conditionals. Not a fan of marketing minimal syntax but having special forms. Not a fan of cons as a a building block for everything. Not a big believer in garbage collection. And certainly not a believer that Lisp is a practical programming language for much of anything these days.
But don't let me stop you from caaaaadring away!
