As I get older, I realize that everybody's sweet spot is a little different.

Lisp and APL both have their adherents.

I personally find a bit more syntax than lisp to be nice. Occasionally I long for the homoiconicity of lisp; otoh, many of the arguments for it fall flat with me. For example, DSLs -- yeah, no, it's hard enough to get semi-technical people to use DSLs to start with, never mind lisp-like ones.
