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.

quick question... Hunchentoot recently (?) moved to a more OO model, correct? I'm just curious... since lambda expressions, closures, macros, and other lisp constructs are often considered 'better' than CLOS (less verbose, less overhead), what made Edi decide to move to the more OO design? Surely it wasn't just popular demand. ;-)
