Heh. One day, guys, when you have nothing better to do, try writing a
parser for Lisp-like language (Common Lisp, Scheme, whatever). After
that, do the same with some other language of your preference (Python,
Java, whatever). Compare time and code spent...
Perhaps Lisp is a simpler language to parse than Python.
Perhaps a machine with only one instruction

simpler to implement than one with a broader instruction set.
One with zero instructions might be even simpler than that:
