I find it very natural, understandable, and quick to write them; reading one created by someone else is another story; it takes a certain amount or style of documentation to make it easier.

This probably has something to do with my dislike of LISP. ;-)


Been following the world-record-for-crossposting thread on comp.lang.python + comp.lang.lisp? "Python syntax in Lisp and Scheme" and now "Why don't people like lisp?" Entertaining stuff.
"There's a set of rules that anything that was in the world when you were born is normal and natural. Anything invented between when you were 15 and 35 is new and revolutionary and exciting, and you'll probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things."
