in reply to @wowperfect's post:

Never used Nix but I quite like Lisp and its syntax. Not sure if I like the syntax because I enjoy the practical benefits or because I don't have to manually deal with it anymore (Emacs's paredit is amazing).

Have you used a good Lisp (i.e., not Emacs Lisp) in any capacity or do you just not like the look of the syntax? Because yes, it looks painfully unusable at first and takes a bit of time to get used to. But once you're used to it and have proper tools for dealing with it (rainbow delimiters and paredit in particular) it can feel quite natural, although it's definitely not for everyone.

I'm not gonna try to evangelize it because honestly it's a waste of time to learn Lisp unless you're into the specific niche it's best at, but the syntax does have real benefits.

Anyway, when are you coming around to launch me into the sun? I've got time on Saturday.

Your complaint is valid then (even though Racket and home-made Lisps are closer to the bottom of the enjoyability scale in terms of Lisps imo). Still not all that hyped about going to the sun, but sure, I'll willingly submit.
