> "Lisp is a very high-level language" myth

Lisp is as high-level as a fundamentally procedural language can go; it even kind of looks functional, and it's closer to being functional than procedural language styles which scatter globals everywhere and don't use abstraction very well (IOW, the kind of code assembly language programmers and/or EEs tend to write).

However, compared to Haskell or even OCaml, it sits firmly in the procedural world.
