Perhaps you know more of kazinator's history than I do, but that HN account wasn't even created until 2014, so saying kazinator is the one who started this very old argument requires some extra evidence.
I was referring to kazinator's specific argument rooted in languages using parenthesis for things besides expression grouping. I didn't see how that language-lawyering affected my overall point.
FWIW "in Lisp [parenthesis] also mean another level of application" is also technically incorrect (nesting is not always application), but I think it gets the actual point across better than being more abstract.
WTH? You, by nitpicking a general statement meant to connect two perspectives and maybe allow some synthesis between two starkly divided worlds.
I've had the Lisp kool-aid. I agree it makes for a great time. I can do without the proselytizing blast.
