Like flipping through for the soft porn in a friend's "romance" novel, I must confess I searched straight for this guideline.
It astonishes me that Lisp systems still default to all caps. Of course one can quickly disable this, but why send the old gheezer "GET OFF MY LAWN!" message? That's exactly what people do, get off Lisp's lawn. They don't even get to the part where the parentheses (completely unnecessary for representing a tree in 2020) are a hazing exercise / loyalty test.
I love Lisp, but its public relations is the poster child for "How can people who are so smart be so dumb?"
