I love lisp. I love the stability, the macros, the crash handlers, the repls, the elitism, slime, emacs, the works. But IMO sexpr is straight out terrible and hacking around that is a chore.
- anonzzzies 3y agoYeah, it's interesting. I find them elegant and want all my languages to have that syntax (no deviation either like [] for lists etc). Guess we cannot argue about taste :)
- reddit_clone 3y agoI suspect most of the power that you already _love_ flows from the sexp based homoiconic syntax :-)
- nurettin 3y agoI tried to convince myself of that, but putting a function/operator in the same parens as the arguments and then making a special case for the first element in the parens will never make sense to me, since you can get the "expressive power" in any number of ways. Ruby makes more sense.
