I observe a phenomenon on language fanatics, no matter what language,
but in particular for the less-than-mainstream language: the desire
to formulate trivial algorithms over and over again, just to enjoy the
beauty of the result (and sometimes the mere fact of being able to do
so).

I suppose people writing real applications in LISP have better things
to spend time on.
