What do you use newLISP for? What are its advantages over, say, PHP

Lisp is the perl for the people who never learned perl. It's good at
processing text, but not as good as perl. Some people claim it is
more understandable, which would not be hard as perl's syntax is
obtuse at times.
Personally, I like php, but perl is better at text handling.
Here's what newLisp code looks like:
<http://www.newlisp.org/syntax.cgi?mandelbrot.txt>
and its output:
<http://www.newlisp.org/mandelbrot.cgi>
(See what I mean (about the parentheses?))
Personally, my brain does not parse (set 'r-half (/ rows 2) 'c-half
(/ cols 2)) correctly, so I am better off with php or perl
(that lines means, I think, set r-half = rows / 2; set c-half =
cols / 2; )
