I don't know what side you think I am arguing for here, but it's not the one you're guessing.

Yeah, I did't think you ever genuinely believed RPN is easier than LISP.

No, that is not true.

Me personally? I dislike them both. I find them both unreadable.

But both are compact and efficient... just really difficult.

You are trying to put words in my mouth that are not there. That is very rude. Do not do that, ever.

But also, as you have been throughout this thread, you are wrong.

The parenthesis in LISP make it dramatically easier to deal with than RPN; and I don't believe for a millisecond that you objectively disagree with that fact.
