This is an observation you only see with people who don't use Lisps. It's a total non-issue. Editing is also easier than with syntax-heavy langs.

- IshKebab 2y ago> This is an observation you only see with people who don't use Lisps. Uhm.. yeah. Do you think there might be a very obvious reason for that?
- UncleEntity 2y agoBecause they're not used to reading lisp? I read these articles with Go or Rust code examples and just tune out because I don't use either of those languages so don't know enough to extract the wheat from the chaff, as they say. Hell, I don't even know scheme enough to read/write code without having to look up the syntax and I've been hacking on a scheme interpreter off and on for years. Something about different strokes for different folks...
- dwheeler 2y agoI've written a lot of Lisp in my past. I'm used to reading Lisp. Still hate it. For example, everyone else has figured out that mathematical notation uses infix. Stock Lisp's inability to handle infix notation means most software developers will not consider using it seriously. Obviously not all will agree with me :-).
