From the FAQ:
"Is Lisp as hard as people say it is?
No. Lisp is actually the simplest programming language, and has no syntactic cruft. While it wasn't designed to be “easy to learn” like Swift, Python, Ruby, or Basic, there is less overall to learn and you will be writing real, useful programs in Lisp sooner than you could with other languages."
Is it necessary to put strong subjective statements that have no supporting links or proof? Also, are you seriously saying that /Common/ Lisp is the simplest language? (from FAQ: "Lisp — the friendly nickname for Common Lisp")
- slapresta 12y agoSyntax wise, it is probably the simplest language as long as you don't include Turing tarpits. Of course, simple syntax is nice, but it doesn't actually get you very far by itself.
