Common Lisp is too hard.

I still can't get my head around prefix notation. I heard Scheme is easier though. Seriously, why do practitioners of Lisp-like languages claim it's so good? I honestly cannot see the big deal, it's an old, slow, awkward and overall clunky language to use.

You realize they use the exact same notation, right? And now can you possibly find it hard to grasp? Instead of foo(bar) it's (foo bar).

Sigh... don't call it CLisp. It's Common Lisp or CL. ComLi may be acceptable. But CLISP is something else.
