You cannot blame poor programming habits on the language; it's quite
feasible to write the same mess in Common LISP.

PLEASE NOTE: CL is NOT  lexically scoped; it allows BOTH dynamic and
lexical scoping, which makes the problem worse, not better.

It is possible to write bad programs in any language; it is possible to
write good programs in any language.
