Hello, I'm a Lisp hacker. You may know me from my greatest hits, including "The parentheses are not an issue," "It's not intrinsically for AI," and "You just used a forum written in Lisp to post that comment saying nothing is written in Lisp."

I'm honoured to get a reply. I was curious about your thoughts on the Robert Milner family of languages.
Oh, that ML. Not very. Strong typing seems to me one of those ideas like object-oriented programming that's great for certain problems (proving stuff about programs, and GUIs, respectively) but not as widely useful as its proponents believe.
