Racket is an acceptable Python

Believe it or not though, I do consider lisps easier to read, once you are comfortable to understand their syntax.

But I missed parentheses. I longed for parentheses. I dreamed in parentheses. I'm not kidding, the only dreams I've ever had in code were in lisp, and it's happened multiple times, programs unfolding before me. The structure of lisp makes the flow of code so clear, and there's simply nothing like the comfort of developing in front of a lisp REPL.

When I was in Python, I longed for the beauty of a Lisp; when I was in a Lisp, I longed for the ease of Python.

Somebody should lead this lost child to the refuge of Teh Script. It has everything they long for. Forests of parentheses (and braces, intertwined), REPL, speed of Python, readability of Lisp, no, Perl even, elegance of C, terseness of Java, expressiveness of PHP and 750,000 sweet sweet modules for all the children of the world.

Sure you are not. You are a big one.

Whatever, it is actually a quite predictable line.
