It's worth pointing out that the default word order of English is SVO, and not VOS/VSO like the "word" order of LISP. Perhaps, John McCarthy is a native speaker of Malagasy?

I'm a native English speaker, and I prefer Japanese Lisp.

Given that imperative sentences in English map onto function calls rather well, and also have an understood subject, I think Malagasy is an unnecessary assumption.
