Although, hmm, perhaps I speak hastily there. Wikipedia links to a USENET post talking about BLISS's macro processor, which sounds like even more fun to abuse than cpp. Shame the rest of the language looks so ugly, in that case.
Is that discrepancy so surprising? Aren't "not looking like bliss at all" and "being fun to abuse the preprocessor of" both caused by having a large potential but being annoying restrictive in implementation?
