I wouldn't worry about the downvotes. Sometimes, I think people express their opinions for the sole purpose of upvotes? That said, you didn't say anything rude, and I would have had no idea that you weren't a native speaker from your post. I'm not much of a programmer, and don't usually comment on posts regarding on programming languages, but after looking at a lot of languages to learn; I am most intrigued by Lisp. I don't like wordy books. Lisp seems to be the least wordy? As yes, I know it looks complicated, but there is a simplicity about it too? And as a novice, I agree that "readability is an artifact of familiarity". Engish is easy because it's the only language I was taught. I had a hell of a time learning to write, and speak it as a kid. I look back, and I think I had a learning disability? I told a guy at work, "There's no way I could ever learn Chinese." He looked at me, and said, "I think you could learn the language. It's a lot of one syllable words. You're just used(familiarity) of English? I use JavaScript because I can ask questions on Google, and get an immediate response. I hope more people put up tutorials on Lisp. I would love to see a walk through(step, by every little step) on say the construction of let's say --Hacker News? I've always been intruded by construction of this website. I looked at the source code, but need help--on a lot of levels. I looked at lobster.io, and it's not Hacker News. (I guess it's part "familiarity"?) Actually, what should do is learn Lisp, and then put up a tutorial, but that will probally never happen because I'm just not the guy for the job on a lot of levels. A lot of people recommend learning the basics of a language before jumping into a complicated application, and that's good advice. I have found, I learn better when someone builds a program, and slowly walks me through the steps. I do take the side notes seriously. When someone recommends learning A before moving on the B; I follow that advice. As usual went off base-
