Nothing raises the ire of HN devotees like the most mild criticism of Lisp aesthetics... Such a sensitive lot.

  I'm sure if lispers started going into python threads and whining about "argg all the whitespace makes me want to gauge my eyes out!!!11" the response would be similar. Don't like parens? That's fine, really. Want to write off an entire class of languages because the syntax isn't plastered with curly braces? Go ahead! Just don't expect anyone to all that interested when you start blubbering about it.

    If a post on Python has more than a handful of comments, the whitespace discussion almost inevitably comes up, in my experience.
