To be clear, a lisper would not solve the problem by switching to a more verbose syntax, but that doesn't mean no depth is too deep. Breaking a big, deeply-nested function up into smaller ones is a perfectly lispy thing to do.

That's not what it looks like to me https://yoo2080.wordpress.com/2014/07/04/it-is-not-hard-to-r...

And that's why lispers are at most 1% of the total number of programmers out there, 50+ years after the language was invented.

You could say that most programmers are crap, but those crap programmers seem to make the world work, so they must be doing something right :-)

Because they are

For certains value of "work". Most software is crap too and it's getting worse not better.

Yet it makes people's live better day by day... I feel that as insiders we don't really realize that software works quite well compared to many every day things.
