I like that analogy, a programming language without brackets is like a house without walls, and nil is an empty house.

- benj111 4y agoAs I said, the analogy works. But the house bedroom bathroom kitchen bit is more important than the (((()))). Maybe I'm thinking about this too much (read, I am thinking about this too much) but maybe the data / use is more important than the structure
- tmtvl 4y agoLife, like brackets, is about balance. Four walls with a roof don't make a home, but a bed, cupboard, toilet, stove, table, chairs, and bath set up out in the open don't make much of a home either. The internals need the structure just as much as the structure needs the internals.
