East vs West Coast Object vs KISS

I have been listening to some videos from the computer archives and
have observed that there is very little cross over to LISP and UNIX.
During its years of development needed adoption, Unix delivered
workable solutions. Next, and Sun LISP machines and later turning into
C++ camps of object orientation . I find this strangly worth
mentioningretrospecive. I do enjoy a good abstract being a castable
generic but the crystal city never gets a finished design, perfection
in design is rarely consistent. Unix is patchable and its meant to be
understood. To me, thinking in C++ is about setting up perfect
orchestrations of abstractions. C is tied to assembly, and paof
portability to assembly/bytecode.
