I am only recently a lisp user but honestly, how is the format function far from:
printf("something %s then %d finally %f!", "asd", 1, 1.2)
As mentioned, there is a loop built into format. Since lisp also has a (list) function eg: (list 'a 'b 'c 1) I still don't see an argument beyond familiarity with the C style printf syntax for why format is bad/unreadable.
