Lisp kills productivity!

Lisp goes against the human thought process. You must think in reverse to successfully write and read Lisp code!

Consider the famous REPL:
(loop (print (eval (read))))

People will typically think Loop-Print-Eval-Read, which is obviously wrong. They want to read left-to-right, not recursively. Thus, it's a write-only language. I'm an employer and if one of my applicants told me they were a Lisp programmer, I'd personally throw them out the door.

``Most'' systems were actually not right-to-left, but rather left-to-right-to-left-to-right.  Phoenikian and early Greek inscriptions are arranged like that.  I have no idea why Arabs and other semithic Jews insist on writing right-to-left, because, as most of them are right-handed (or so I think), they do not see what they write, while I can see what I just wrote when moving my hand from left to right.
