I guess Python has had the benefit of being young enough to pick up
cleaner looking methods to do stuff. Lisp's insistance on brackets
around everything tends to be annoying, although it also seems to make
sense for one-line functions.
BTW, AutoCAD's internal language is called AutoLisp. Is it based on
Lisp?
