Mine, neither, for maths.
But for everything else, we’re both already used to prefix:
fprintf(STDOUT, "foo %d", 3);
is prefix, just as much as this is:
(format *standard-output* "foo ~d" 3)
And it turns out that the advantages of a single homoiconic notation are so compelling that it’s worth a little bit of mild ugliness when dealing with maths.
