3 months ago you described yourself as a "non-techie", and you come here of all places, and cry about too much Lisp? You've taken a wrong turn, pal. This house was built with parens.

While the metaphor is correct.
(House(kitchen ( bathroom (bedroom))))
Surely the meaningful part of a house, or lisp, is everything else.
(((()))) Is neither a house nor lisp.
Yes it probably is, but the meaningful part is the nothing that's in there, not the parens surrounding the nothing.
A house isn't just 4 walls. It's where you live, surely that's the important part.
I'll stop getting philosophical with throwaway comments now.
But the house bedroom bathroom kitchen bit is more important than the (((()))).
Maybe I'm thinking about this too much (read, I am thinking about this too much) but maybe the data / use is more important than the structure
If not, it's a prison.
