> what's your reasoning behind choosing this language over the more mainstream options? Well, I could lie and list all of the great features of Lisp that others will have mentioned already, however the real reason I like Lisp is the S-expressions. It may sound silly, but I really like the structure S-expressions give a program, which gels much better with the way my brain works than more 'conventional' syntax. Other Lispers tend to say that as you go on using Lisp the brackets disappear, but I like the brackets. They give me a sense of structure that I don't get from C, Pascal, Python, or Haskell. I dunno, maybe it's just my autism talking, but there you go.
