I'm a big opponent of unspecified argument evaluation order, but my point was more that the sky doesn't fall because of that.

Though it's pretty ridiculous that a mainstream Lisp dialect is that way, of all things.

No, especially in a language like C that has much bigger problems (I don't think there's ever been a nontrivial C program that has defined behaviour according to the standard), but it's one more papercut.

I don't think I'd call any Lisp dialect "mainstream".
