I've only had passing experience with Lisp but the macro facility seems
incredibly powerful and useful, especially for defining mini-languages.
Also functions are real first-class constructs in Lisp and not in Ruby,
afaict. I'm sure there's other stuff but those are the features I envy
from Lisp.
Now, how much less readable than Ruby is Lisp? ;)
