Ugh. Pretty much any programming language has "maths-like" syntax. You could perfectly move to C, Python, or heck, even Basic, if you just need that. Yet Lisp is the most maths-like language.

Because Brainfuck doesn't teach you much about anything. Maybe you meant that Lisp is the hardest language around, but in that case you would just be wrong. Lisp is roughly the easiest.

True. I'll give you that.
No, no. Programming in Lisp is just fundementally different.
You have to think differently to program in Lisp.

No it's not.

No you don't. You can write Lisp however you like. Lisp just gives you the option of thinking differently. Smalltalk, Haskell, Forth, and those wacky concatenative languages are the ones that require different thinking.

Of course, hardest language is Malbolge.

Pick an assembly language
Motorola 68k is really easy to learn IMO

Not hard to learn, but it's a bitch to do complex things in. Didn't read the thread but if you're suggesting learning assembly for the Motorola 68k /seconded as it can be really useful for embedded programming.
