Beautiful (parenthese tree), powerful, energy efficient (http://greenlab.di.uminho.pt/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/pape...), standardized, battle-tested, and with a glorious past, Lisp reminds me of Gollum's "the precious" ring in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" series, and just like the ring, it can make one invisible just by using it too. Maybe it's one of those "precious" tools out there, being the best or not.
