My only personal experience writing with Lisp was Scheme, which I wrote for two weeks back in college 18 years ago, so I truly know nothing about the language.

In retrospect, saying I don't understand was hyperbolic. Of course I understand that people have their preferred languages. The handful of languages I've used in my career each have their draw.

My comment was meant more to question the assertion that Lisp is the-right-thing, which sounds like asserting the-right-religion.
