Indeed. Given the various convenient arguments about what "interpreted"
means (and how Python is simultaneously the same as and yet quite
different to Lisp), you'd think that the average C/C++/Lisp programmer
would have to be quite familiar with microcode to finish off a fair
number of their projects.
