How odd. If I may quote from Abelson & Sussman, found here on the web,
<http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book-Z-H-25.html#%_chap_4>,
"Metalinguistic abstraction -- establishing new languages -- plays
an important role in all branches of engineering design. It is
particularly important to computer programming, because in
programming not only can we formulate new languages but we can also
implement these languages by constructing evaluators ...
We come to see ourselves as designers of languages, rather than only
users of languages designed by others."
So again, I may believe some of the most respected names in the Lisp
pantheon, or I can believe you. Gee, let me think.
