The real test of a programming language is its readabilty. I looked at lisp many times and it just doesn't do it for me.

- _ph_ 2mo agoThat might be, on the other side, I consider Lisp highly readable, but quite a few modern languages quite unreadable. For example parsing type signatures with a complex syntax. Any style of writing you are not familiar with will require a lot of training. Try reading anything written in the Greek alphabet for example.
- peter_retief 2mo agoFair enough.
- BeetleB 2mo agoIf you've not grown up accustomed to C-style syntax, I assure you that C is less readable. Even a for loop is crazy in C.
