[hunchentoot-devel] CLOS versus closures

[Peter Seibel]

Hmmm. I'm not sure those things are "often considered 'better'" except
perhaps by Paul Graham. Anyway, the current architecture, as I
understand it, is designed to be extensible in various ways. To build
that level of extensibility using closures, etc. you would end up
implementing something like CLOS.
