"Scheme and Common Lisp differ mostly in the communities they cater to. Scheme programmers like to talk about how great it is to have a short specification; Common Lisp programmers like to write programs."
@louis Smalltalk syntax fits on a postcard they happily say. The distinction of what is core language, what is standard library and what is auxiliary is just fighting over the position of an invisible slider.
To get stuff done you are either reinventing everything or reusing something regardless of the length of your specification. In fact if your specification is short you just failed to document your standard library, no?
