Having read some Lisp recently, i was so lucky it was not my
first language.
It would have been a very frustrating experience having to adopt
other languages, required to write code in them. I don't have
experience on it and don't know how it scales with bigger
projects but as someone who sees the importance of
metaprogramming in D/C++, it is disturbing when you find out it
was a 50 years old concept.
