Fifty years ago someone came up with this idea of lisp and parentheses. By now in year 2010, I have never heard of any programmer who never made jokes about it. Now imagine the discussions in 2060 : - ahah, you're still programming with monads. lol - no but theyre ok for dirty scripting. - all these >>=, significative indentation, You're from the past dude. - Wtf !!? haskell's easy to compile. - So what ? ... good luck limestraël ;-) El 05/05/2010, a las 18:25, Gregory Crosswhite escribió:

Learning Lisp dialects is much harder (to a large part because of the parentheses, which makes them near impossible to parse).
On the contrary, the whole point of parentheses is that it makes Lisp *easier* to parse... for computers. :-)
