- SoftTalker 10mo agoI've had way more issues with proper indentation in Python and YAML than I have with parenthesis in lisp. Meaningful whitespace is about the worst idea I've seen in a programming language.
- jimbokun 10mo agoYou would need to show that, including the parens, the average Lisp program requires more tokens than Python. I'm not sure that's true. Because Lisp has a lot of facilities for writing more concise code that are difficult to achieve without the parens.
