Bit surprised at negativity about my lisp comments -- I am infatuated with the elegance of Scheme out of all proportion to its relevance

Given how many tools need to be able to parse program source code, I'm not convinced that savings doesn't pay off. Look at all the duplicated effort that goes into writing parsers for all the tools that support the use of popular curly brace languages. It's a lot easier to keep a simple syntax than to build a popular parsing library for a complex one.
