Re: expressions vs. statements



Quoth Paul Prescod on Wednesday, 19 December:
: I don't feel strongly about this issue but I think that in a
: procedural/OO language it helps to regularize code and discourage a
: deeply nested style.

Ah, I deeply appreciate this comment.  I think paren-bashing is a red
herring, and the real meat of the underlying issue is this:  That Lisp
dialects are often used to write very deeply nested code.  The result
is often difficult to read and maintain.
