I have to assume you're kidding. I was responding to a comment about
"efficiency hacks", and I was pointing out that many things we take
for granted in Scheme could be considered "efficiency hacks". Again,
I'm arguing for raising the abstraction bar, not lowering it. That
really seems to be the polar opposite of "All You Need Is Lambda".
