I am particularly amused by this guy's ranting about hygiene and macros. I have written quite a bit of lisp, and debugged plenty of macros, and once you have some experience with gensyms you really don't look back and wish there was a hygienic system.

Hygienic macros are a bigger deal in Scheme, where everything is conflated into single namespace (you know, the land of LST). His rant about macros and namespaces is a good hint he didn't practice Lisp that much.
