Using LISP-like syntax for everything would be so stupid as using quantum mechanics for billiards.
Claiming that LISP parens are Stupid, Superfluous, or Silly just because you do not need them in your limited field of discourse, would be so stupid as those people thinking that just because they use classical mechanics at the macro scale and works for them, then classical mechanics would also work at the atomic scale [*]. [*] Even today, after 100 years some people think that quantum mechanics is Stupid, Superfluous, or Silly and some classical formulation will replace. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
