I guess you threw in that flamebait for fun. :-)

But I'm not looking for flamebait.  In all honesty, I'd like to know
more about the "and more" part of your LISP statement.  What am I
missing by not using LISP?  I don't mean some random feature like
pretty-printing numbers.  What deep philosophy is in LISP that other
languages have yet to discover?
