I should have also mentioned "variadic" with regards to lists and macros. Although it's possible to inter-translate, the required add-ons such as Template Haskell macros and Typed Clojure make each language more clunky. The pure form of each language is based on two mutually exclusive foundations, i.e. strongly typed auto-curried parameters and variadic untyped macro parameters.
