Oh, a bracket-style programmer (Java / C#) spitting his poison about Scala, Haskell and Lisp dialects all in one comment and somehow this gets voted up. I'm calling appeal to autorithy now. No, not people with lots of rep on SO for answering Java and C# question. I'm calling appeal to pg authority. This is ycombinator.com FFS! Go read "Beating the average", "What made Lisp different", etc. There are many very insightful things in these essays. After you'll have read them, you won't be upvoting these "I hate everything non-bracket styles / your language is a toy because it's not the most succesful one" comments. Actually after reading them you'll be downvoting these poisonous words...
