>modestly more readable languages.
This is definitely all relative, I would argue lisp is easier to read given that the philosophy of its syntax is that there is no syntax...
Though if you've only ever read classical languages I can see how lisp would seem alien
- throwanem 10y agoLisp someone else wrote is harder to read than Perl you wrote, but any Lisp is easier to read than Perl someone else wrote.
- wtbob 10y agoMy experience with Perl was that me-a-week-ago counts as someone else. That's not flippant — it's an accurate reflection of my experience that Perl tends to be write-only. There are some people who do write beautiful Perl, but they are few and far between (again, in my experience).
