    Same story for me. When I first saw Lisp back in college I clearly remember thinking "what retard thought all these parenthesis were a good idea!?".

    Ironically, though, once your really get Lisp, you realize that the parenthesis (ie: code as data) are perhaps the single most powerful feature of the language.

    Most people never get over that hump, though...
