To learn something new, you need to get out of your comfort zone, and try to get used to things that might seem "strange" or "unpleasant" at first. Just because the syntax looks odd at first glance, it doesn't mean you can't get used to it in time. If you are so quick to dismissing the language, how are you ever going to learn anything new? Principles aside, I'd expect people on HN to be more familiar with single quote being used as a prefix. After all, that's how you denote symbols and quote things in LISP, Scheme and their variants.
