I've enjoyed messing around with Lisp, but for me the uniformity of the syntax makes it harder to reason about - everything looks the same, big blobs of parenthesis.
That's part of its appeal, but also a big part of its downfall I think - other languages can utilize a wider "Ascii spectrum" and represent different things in lexically different ways, making it easier to distinguish at a glance.
I think this makes sense. Double-edged swords make for powerful tools.
I like to think you can make a DSL for any situation, but it's not like I've actually done that in practice hah.
