I don't get it. I am a Smug Lisp Weenie. Lisp is not a syntactic sugar - the only reason it looks like it does is for metaprogramming. Those parens are not syntax - they indicate the underlying structure of the code, a tree which may be manipulated by Lisp macros.

Why would anyone pretend to program in Lisp without any benefit? Also, Python is the worst imaginable engine for running Lisp. [correction: I see there are some kind of macros...]
