Hi,
Just reading a Lisp book my self.
Lisp seems to be very pure at the bottom level.
The nesting in p*arentheses* are hard to read and comprehend / debug.
Things get not so pretty when all sorts of DSL are made to make it more
powerful.
The REPL give it a kind of wing clipped aura; there is more to computing
than text io
