Eli, I don't read any insult here, just Daniel questioning the fear that we'd
code ourselves into oblivion if core allowed any more complexity. I think we
all want more Lisp and less C, I've seen you both say as much. The real point
being debated is whether some additional C wouldn't help us in the interim.
Note that I've seen both statements become true: Complex core that repulsed
new contributors, and new contributors willing to learn anything to help a
project.
