It isn't evil.

My experience coming to Scheme was such that I wanted to start using
eval without fully understanding how it works, and what are pros and
cons compared to other alternatives. Eval gets a lot of hype and one
might feel an intense desire to utilize it without as much need.

As such, my experience with eval suffered for it. Based on reading
emails to this group, I suspect that I am not the only one who has
committed this sin of laziness. It wasn't eval's fault.

Namespaces are nicer if you want to control your environment, disallow
'exit' for example in the server code.
