The problem with programming in a language that is bad (in some way) isn't just that the language is bad (in that way), but that the other programmers it attracts are OK with it being bad (in that way). Which is itself bad unless people in charge recognize it and work to fix it.

I think lisp is special that way. The engineer can alter the language, so they are never helpless to the hands of the language authors. However that's also the worst thing about LISP.

It's not something bad about Lisp, but about normies who seek comfort in submitting to the social power of unearned and unearnable authorities in language matters, when Lispers reject social power either exerted or endured and seek only power of man over nature.
