Well the original was almost certainly a tongue-in-cheek reference to LISP. LISP was a disaster to use, so I doubt your language would have been any worse. The way one identifies a lisp programmer is to find the person whose paren keys have worn competely off their keyboard. :D

Given how much Python is indebted to Lisp, digs at Lisp seem particularly off-topic for this list.

Fully expecting this to bounce,
