@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.

Difftastic 0.29 is out! * A ton of optimisation (30% shorter runtime) from smaller data structures * Improved cases where the outer delimiter is preferred (lisps, JSON) * Better detection of binary files (thanks @OnlyXuanwo) * Improved Perl, added Elvish

prism.el is an excellent highlighter that uses nesting depth: https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el It has some really compelling screenshots (e.g. it makes the funcall more obvious here) and even works for non-lisps!
