    The good news is, it's not Lisp that sucks, but Common Lisp.

    I quoted it but don't know who the originator of that remark is.

    Are the Rules 1--9 by Greenspun good too?

    I don't know; let me look it up. Oh, there it is:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenspun%27s_tenth_rule says that
    Greenspun said he "was just trying to give the rule a memorable name."

    Sadly, the citation link is failing for me right now.
