Why would Lispers feel at home with its (whitespace delimited) syntax? Quite the strange claim.

I know this isn't a common rant, but I hate so-called functional language still bowing to the "infix mathematical operator special case" dogma, when those are just binary (variadic in Lisp) functions.

Always found it pretty appealing, otherwise. And no ";;"!
