I happen to like LISP, but I can tell you, before they had parentheses matching in many of the common text editors, it was a right pain in the ass to code. “Where the ^&!@ did I drop that closed paren…”
You can still get bitten by the matching parentheses/bracket/brace phenomenon even when you have that function in the editor… And don’t get me started on HTML/XML tag matching….
