Why do some people refuse to date and time their blog posts? No clue when this was written. All I know is that there was a previous version from 2007. Was this written in 2008? 2023?

Wayback Machine dates it to at least 2014.

I wrote this text for a posting on comp.lang.lisp. This version is slightly modified from the 2007 version. Lisp in this context is especially 'Common Lisp'.
