  > IMO, it makes it harder for humans to learn, but not to read once they have. Why would it be harder to learn yet easier to read? If anything it's syntax is easier to learn (because there is so little syntax) but harder to read (also because their is so little syntax) and harder to understand (because the syntax doesn't reveal as much semantics).

    What I meant is that there's a steeper learning curve to actually reading it. But once you do, it beats everything else in readability and writability.

      I get your point. I don't think I believe you, but I get your point.

        It's ultimately a matter of personal preference, to some degree. If you agreed with me, you'd probably already be a lisper.
