Nice. I said exactly this for the same reason yesterday. In that case it was a thread about Lisp. Here's the comment: > Even the open source Common Lisp compilers, written by arguably the lispiest of Lispers, don’t have a lot of “cleverness”. To which I replied my agreement: > Don't write clever. Write clear. Its a sentiment that you find attached to Lisp programming style fairly often, although ironically there is a whole lot of barely readable Lisp code out there. Personally, I think the code is (nearly) worthless crap if someone with skill has to spend as much time parsing it as the writer did writing it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20376344 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20376344
