...until you get used to it. Now I'm equally irked by the vertical space wasted by '{' and '}' in other languages.

Posted Mar 30, 2005 4:52 UTC (Wed) by donio (subscriber, #94) [Link] I find it hard to believe that prefix notation is confusing to you after programming in Lisp for 3 years unless you have had a complete brain transplant since. Unlike you, I don't have 3 years of Lisp programming experience under my belt, I am only a causual user of Emacs Lisp and Common Lisp but prefix notation and syntax in general has never been a problem for me.
