Was Python your first language? Having had 5 years preparation for it, Lisp doesn't seem particularly hard. Something as easy as what "=" does in Python is hard - mutable, immutable, babble, huh, what? I think Andres had a recent bog entry on the subject. One of the things I think that we all like about Python is the fact that a lot of attention has been given to how it looks. Python looks easy. So what.
