While I appreciate a parenthesis laden straw man argument, this just reinforces the assertion about poor readability. Have a great day =)

Sorry, I made a mistake. You said Lisp has a readability issue which I interpreted a statement of generality, but I think you meant Lisp is difficult for me to read which I have no business arguing against, except to offer you guidance on what I believe are best practices for reading and writing Lisp. (In short, it's to use an editor specifically equipped to write Lisp. It gives you canonical indentation and structural editing. Emacs is the most popular choice, but there are extensions to Vim and VSCode; as well as full-blown commercial IDEs (plural!) by LispWorks and Franz Inc.)

    When you are reduced to arguing that your opponent's passion proves your point, you know you have lost.

      I would be interested in hearing how degenerative prefix notation affecting visual acuity relates to a cults indignation. Having someones opinions disrespected under the guise of a off-topic counter-argument, doesn't sound much like a prize. Here is an up-vote, and have a wonderful day. =)

  You do realize that Julia code parsing and code-lowering were implemented in FemtoLisp a.k.a. a Scheme/Lisp dialect And I genuinely still like you, even if you think the world is a terrible place. =)

    Of course. I love both Julia and lisps. How does your comment contradict anything I’ve said?

      Hard to say really, as I do not like to encourage off topic personal nonsense. Have a wonderful day =)
