> Lispers say that I could use specialized tooling to compensate for poor ergonomics Well, in input- and tooling constrained environments I have preferred Lisp

  I find coding in Lisp to be very comfortable. If I ever decided to pull the trigger and swap [] for (), it would remove a large portion of the "chording" that happens with coding. And I by "chording" I refer to the shift key. I love kebab-case-its-so-easy-to-type. May as well be spaces. You can pretty much do everything with 26 lower case characters, the -, space bar, and (). What's that, 30 characters? I have 46 unshifted keys I can use, plus the spacebar. So thats 16 more keys for the more common symbols. Just gotta remap the keyboard a bit. Recall early Lisp actually used things like (plus ...) and (minus ...). Not have to chord is a real benefit, to me, when it comes to typing. Lisp just flows that way. For me my-class I find a lot easier than either MyClass, or my_class.
