Lisp-ish languages are maybe an exception to this, though. And not because of the (strange to many) syntax (or lack of it).
The culture of how to write programs in Lisp or Schemes is quite different, very much focused on using recursion, macros, code as data, etc.
It can be hard to read through a Lisp program if you're not used to it.
- kaba0 3y agoSimilar roots handle that part. Though I don't think it's all that different from FP-languages.
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoSimilar roots Yeah, fair, I re-read that part after I made my comment and you're right. Though it's a bit weird with Clojure with it being a JVM-based language, it's got this hybrid world which is both Lispy and Java-ish.
