indeed.  Lisp is so powerful you often don't see the need to code more 
than quick throw away snippets to solve a particular problem.  And so 
you don't.

I'd say that's a problem with Perl too and its famous one-liners, but at 
least there's far more community momentum to keep it going and feeding 
CPAN with real-world code.
