@screwlisp@gamerplus.org @ramin_hal9001@fe.disroot.org "The great thing about #Lisp is that it has extremely simple syntax"

... except, of course, for #CommonLisp which is a complete baroque mess.

Of course, it's largely a complete baroque mess because reader macros, and reader macros are useful shorthand, but #$(words)? Really?

And noted also that #Clojure has its own baroquery hard-coded into its reader (#{:a :b [:c @D@mastodon.scot]}, anyone?), which is arguably worse, but...

This might as well be #Perl.
