Why don't people like lisp?

Write code first!  I think most would see it as a good thing,
but I have the impression from somewhere that a guarantee of
immediate finalization might not be a practical possibility,
given reference cycles etc.  Between that and the fact that the
present situation is close enough that few people care about the
difference, an implementation would really help your cause.
