Lisp. Lisp is the only language

Why there are other programming languages besides Lisp? With Lisp's macro system you can create any language you need ever. Small, big, finely tuned for your task. Supporting other languages means opposing progress and delaying the inevitable future. There should be only one language and myriad languages at the same time. The one language is Lisp.

AST shmAST. Maybe nice was the wrong word but you can't deny that the haskell example in my post is far more readable and the difference is even bigger when you have more complex code.

If you can parse a piece of haskell code twice as fast as a piece of lisp code that's a huge advantage.
