Comment Comment by gorjusborg This guy gets it.The syntax argument is such a tired argument. With LISPy language there is almost zero syntax, it's pretty much executable AST.Because of this, formatting matters a lot, but I don't think that's too different than other languages.If you think LISP is hard to read, you are someone who could most benefit from branching out to a non-Algol lineage language.Also, the little syntax present is pretty much timeless. Learn once and its yours for the next 50 years. parent gorjusborg 7 months ago
The syntax argument is such a tired argument. With LISPy language there is almost zero syntax, it's pretty much executable AST.
Because of this, formatting matters a lot, but I don't think that's too different than other languages.
