From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
Seems a bit hyperbolic to call it a curse. Things like these are on a spectrum for all languages and languages like C and many others are afflicted by ecosystems that are more or less community driven and leverage libraries to a greater or lesser extent. Doesn't really have to do with Lisps per se.
