> the kind of people who don't like shell scripts for init would likely flip completely out at packages using guile lisp rather than some obscure DSL Do you mean people used to systemd specifically or does this also include runit, s6, etc.? > parenthesis-ophobes are going to react very poorly to the libgit2 extended example ending in four closing parentheses Though, of course, for humans reading Lisp, the trick is not to focus on the parentheses too much, but use the indentation. And then use the parentheses as a sort of double-sanity check as you move your editor's point/cursor across them and see the other member of the pair light up (assuming a sane lisp editor/editor configuration). (And maybe: parenthephobes?)
