This is part of a wry joke at the expense of LISPers and lambda calculators:

"... the heretic is chained in the dungeon where he is forced to learn Common Lisp on a Commodore 64 and interact with rapacious Lemmy-ings and Mastodonians."

As some of you might agree, it's not really a punishment.

Writing complex #XPath expressions to emulate if-then-else using substrings, lists and indexing using boolean conditions... feels like #LambdaCalculus but a lot worse :'D

I don't care if "Scheme is not a Lisp", the only thing that matters to me is that Scheme is beautiful and fascinating.
