To me, it's the uniformity and limited rules that make lispy languages attractive.

Javascript's destructuring syntax can look almost indecipherable, and it is mostly because the language syntax is not uniform in its meaning.

  const f = ({a: {b: [x, , z] = [], c: {d: w} = {}} = {}, e: [, y] = []} = {}) => ({x, y, z, w});

This is a function written in one of the most popularly used programming languages in the world.
