It's nice to see such a rational comparison of languages. So often, I see blogs written by people who only understand one language and blindly compare its' elegant solutions to arcane versions in another language because they don't understand the other enough to recognize their blunder. This post, on the other hand, is written by somebody with a strong understanding of both languages and how to approach the same problem with two different hats.

So, rather than another "Lisp rocks, Java sucks" post, we get to read a intellectually sound argument. Refreshing.
