Perhaps many lisp programmers use/program the same way. I think my lisp and forth experiences were a factor in my going this direction. I have enjoyed programming with the graphical dataflow model of LabVIEW in the past, but it did not give me this. Because of this, I'm coercing mc/rev into my application niches and have demonstrated to myself that mc/rev is malleable.
Recently Geoff has shown an interest in lisp and the lisp style. I don't know if that will make him an advocate in this issue or in adding compensating features, but it might help.
