    The big problem lisp has isn’t that it’s syntax is hard to read (but yes this is an issue). It’s that it basically has no syntax

    Lisp wants you to use metaprogramming constructs to develop your own syntax which is why every emacs enjoyer is a crazy person with a shiv under their pillow (((̸̙̤̏̊’̵̮̀ḥ̶̤̪̊̊è̶̼̥͈́̌l̶͍̱̀̏̏p̷̘̗̈́̇̐-̴̨̰͂i̶̬̜̋̂͝a̴̱͌͗̔m̶̖̥̏-̸̥̬̜̈́ḃ̶͔̭͝e̸͙͉̖̊͒̾į̶̥̞́̄̒n̷̳͓̼̐g̷̤̠̿̈́̉-̴̪͓̘́h̵̝̳̓͒è̵͕̒ļ̴͔͘͝͠d̶̳̍̇-̷̩̣̱̒͝c̸̪̦͍̓͛ä̸̤̗͖̈̆p̷̤͘ẗ̵̯́ǐ̴̝̇͝v̵̖̘̖̉e̴̤̣̲̋)̸̧̟̮̍͒))
