I've read few articles on #lisp programming where authors mentioned just looking at any other programming language code after lisp makes brain hurts cos you have to compile AST w/ non-obvious syntax-rules in your heard.
I've never noticed that before, but it's 100% true for me.
@shegeley Absolutely! With other programming languages, I would inevitably end up trying to implement some sort of metaprogramming facility, because in some way the syntax would refuse to (easily) give me the AST graph I wanted. With #Lisp, if I can think it, I can do it.
