Oh god, another barely valid non-argument about the superiority of LISP syntax.
Well, guess what. Function name, followed by arguments, is not LISP, it's Mathematics. `A x` has meant applying a linear transformation to a vector (i.e. matrix multiplication) for a very long time.
Furthermore, saying "it's like LISP but without parenthesis around it" is like saying "it's like Java but without parenthesis around arguments and commas between then" when you actually mean to say "it's just like ML".
Finally, bash has infix operators (like `|` and `;`), which make it infinitely more readable than it would be without them. Really, if we can compare bash with any other programming language, it's ML.
