Loved it lol

First time I saw a Lisp program, more than 20 years ago, a chess
program that a friend showed me, all the parenthesis made such a big
impression on me that afterwards I was under the impression that Lisp
programs where composed of *only* parenthesis! I could not understand
how you could write such a powerful chess program using only two
symbols, so I got the wonderful Little Lisper book and... it was love
at first sight :)

My first time, it looked like it was just parens and "LAMBDA NIL", which 
made it seem like a totally foreign language (at the time I knew BASIC, 
Fortran, and PDP-8 Assembler).  This was nearly 30 years ago, and the 
coding style of the program I looked at was incredibly archaic (all the 
LAMBDAs were because it predated LET, I presume).

idiotic and not fun. Lisp seems to rot the brain of some folks.
