If you look at the larger picture, the system as a whole, this is a small concern at the bottom of the list. People complain about the parentheses in Lisp, note that M-LISP was a thing and that it's possible in theory to do your math all infix-y by means of a complicated system of pulleys and levers implemented as macros, but nobody does Lisp that way: anyone that knows enough Lisp to write that also knows enough Lisp to know why you don't need it, and the prefix syntax and all the parentheses seem like a small concern. Same thing with Forth. Same thing with monolithic applications and Unix programming (which favors small programs in pipelines), in fact.

@p @7 @11112011 @ins0mniak @helene @bonifartius @cyberspook what's the lore behind 9front? is all the progressivism ironic?
@p @7 @11112011 @ins0mniak @helene @bonifartius @cyberspook mmmmmm
is 9front's progressivism a joke or not?
