@nihilazo @eli_oat @technomancy @csepp The thing I like about lisps is the ability to build functions around snippets until I've written a whole program. It's interactive and pleasant. I agree that the advocacy is distracting. The book Let Over Lambda has interesting ideas but it's *so* convinced that lisp is always the best. I sometimes find it hard to read too. It's easy for different patterns to look visually similar.

In OCaml I can use Merlin to destructure `flavour ()` and it gives me the whole `match flavour () with | Vanilla -> ()`. It's nice. In Rust I have to write `match flavour() {}` before rust-analyzer can autofill the match arms, which is more typing. I'm not sure why.
