Lisp has been called "the most intelligent way to misuse a computer". Check out this elegant solution to a Common Lisp programming issue:
[25]> (SETQ *PRINT-CASE* :CAPITALIZE) ; Weird ugly Lisp :Output
:Capitalize
[26]> (DEFPARAMETER CAPITALIZE 'CAPITALIZE) ; Remove the annoying colon
Capitalize
[27]> (DEFMACRO CAPITALIZE(&COLON COLON) ; Apply it to everything
"CAPITALIZE
(DECLARE(IGNORE COLON)))
(CAPITALIZE NIL)
Nil"
(DECLARE(IGNORE COLON)))
Capitalize
[28]> (capitalize nil) ; Test 1
Nil
[29]> (EVAL CAPITALIZE) ; Test 2
Capitalize
[30]> (FORMAT T "~S" capitalize) ; Test 3 It works!
Capitalize
Nil
[31]> I admit it's hard to imagine a more expressive way to do it. Next weekend I'll find a solution for those pesky brackets. Or Parens. Whatever you young whippersnappers call them nowadays.
