I don't think that takes away from my point, in each family of programming languages you can find very different ones and lisp is not a language but a family of languages.

If you know C, you don't need to learn a new syntax if you learn C++, Java, C#, or Javascript, except where their semantics is different from C. In those languages, this was a good design choice, which encouraged people to adopt those languages.
