You seem to misunderstand lisp programmers greatly, allow me to attempt to exlain:
they don't let anything new in their language.
Common Lisp is a standard, changing it requires tremendous resources, and provide little actual value, if you have some language extension you want added to the language, put it in a library, it will be much cheaper and much more useful that way.
they stick to s-expressions like they are the holy grail.
We stick to s-expressions because they provide tremendous value. They are just more useful than traditional syntax.
they stick to the funny function names as if they were given by god.
Common lisp has over a thousand symbols, and only a handful of them i would consider funny, and you are complaining about them? And you accuse us of nitpicking?
The rest of your rant is more of the same bullshit. How can you say you like lisp, and then continue to talk uninformed ignorant bullshit?
