Funny, how the more powerful and elegant a language is, the easier it is to implement.

[antiismist → stcredzero]

True. With scheme, you'd only need to implement the core forms to get started: (LAMBDA, SET!, IF, DEFINE & QUOTE)

There is no correlation with 'powerful' and it's only natural that elegant languages are easier to implement.
