Hi,
I read on
[http://www.strout.net/python/pythonvslisp.html]
that LISP syntax is superior to algebraic syntax. I have searched some
formal information in this and find some thoughts in the CL FAQ
[http://www.lispniks.com/faq/faq.html]
Whereas i see the point of advantages of something as
(+ (* 1 2) (/ 3 4))
over algebraic
1 * 2 + 3 / 4
-specially when managing dozens of operators- i am unable to see
realistic advantages over infix notation
((1 * 2) + (3 / 4))
Any advice?
