I don't know Clojure. "(= (:" is equally line noise.
- mquander 16y agoThis is an absurd discussion. If you don't know C#, "x =>" is line noise. (More fairly, since (= (x y) z) is trivial to understand if you've ever seen any kind of Lisp, I should say instead -- if you don't know any C-like languages, "List<int> { 1, 2, 3 }; is line noise.) I suggest you learn the language you program in; problem solved.
- WorkerBee 16y agoThe point is that "easier to understand" is, in these cases, subjective enough, and entirely dependant on prior experience enough, to be absolutely meaningless.
- Zak 16y agoI was referring to the semantics being easier to understand. Whether Lisp syntax is easier or harder to understand than C syntax is just not a place we should go. All programming languages look more or less like words interspersed with line noise if you're not familiar with the syntax.
