Lisp devs go out of their way to pretend they're not dealing with lisp
I fucking hatte Lisp for its excessive use of brackets. Fuck the Person who thought that you only need one type of bracket and then have shove absolutely fucking everything into it.
Unless your go-to language is something like Haskell or Forth, that first phrase just means you are ignorant of how many brackets your favorite language uses.
Lisps are hardly my favorite languages, but the whole point of s-expressions is that it is a uniform syntax, which makes metaprogramming much, much easier. Metaprogramming is kind of the whole thing of lisps.
