Paul Graham says Perl is good. Stop saying otherwise.

Historically, languages designed for other people to use have been bad: Cobol, PL/I, Pascal, Ada, C++. The good languages have been those that were designed for their own creators: C, Perl, Smalltalk, Lisp. – Paul Graham

Yeah, I didn't say anything otherwise. Macros are Turing-complete and have the full power of Lisp. But it's mostly about "can" and "could be done" and "possible", not about actual feature-complete and practical packages made with Lisp macros.
