Lisp is perfectly readable after you spend a few days to a week reading it. You just have to get used to the organization of code, and then you start to read code by indentation, rather than by paren-counting. Then everything is very smooth, and it's just as readable as Python.
Perl is known as write-and-forget, although Lisp does everything it does better, except for CPAN.
- akkartik 19y agoSometimes I think I am the only one on the planet who hates CPAN. Chasing dependencies gets old really fast. I really really like the python packaging model -- many packages contain a single code file which you can just save to development directory. No installation, no munging around with paths. My favorite example: pyparsing http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com
