Well, I'm not surprised myself: Lisp syntax is not user-friendly, people wants to
use language with easy-to-read syntax, not a language with an abstract-syntax-tree
syntax. So in all likelihood Lisp will stay mostly unused in the future.
Back on the subject of metaprogamming, one thing which makes me cautious about
metaprogramming is debugging: when there is a problem debugging generated code is
a nightmare usually..
