I agree I don't get the syntax argument. I am sure that as one of the other posters mentioned that one is more favored than the other, but once you know the limited syntax of a Lisp it becomes fairly readable. For me it's all about figuring out scope, once I know what denoted scope, it is fairly easy to format the code into a readable format for my mind. The thing about the Lisp dialects is the rules for syntax are so simple that once understood they become perfectly readable, at least to me they do.
Doubly agreed! I learned Clojure just over a year ago and will never look back. My attitude to people complaining about parents is that that should just get over it. That one hang up is actually holding them back.
