I am mostly a Java programmer but I really enjoy writing Lisp code. It’s not really weird in my opinion, but the programmer must format the code nicely for it to be readable. If you do that it looks like any other language to me , except it has very little syntax so feels a bit more pure. Similar to Forth which has essentially no syntax, just white spaces between tokens. In Lisp it’s just lists all the way. Just so you know, in lisp you can do procedural programming, ie line after line of instructions… it’s just not the common way to do things, people write much more functional code than in most languages.
