Lisp Notation

There is a common complaint about LispLanguage's notation (EssExpressions), of nested parenthesis, as being unnatural and difficult to read.

In defense, long time lisp programers, often counter, that it is a matter of conditioning, and blame the use of “inferior” text editors which are not designed to display nested notations. See in the following, a description of how lisp notation can be a problem:

  • Or don't. I found three factual errors before hitting page down. Xah Lee is known for his ranting about Lisp.
