New article explains why Lisp code is hard to read
Original: Un très bon article qui explique particulièrement bien pourquoi le code Lisp est considéré comme difficile à lire. https
A French-speaking software developer is sharing an essay, the 'Paren Thesis', that uses neuroscience and perception to explain why Lisp code, with its dense parentheses, is considered difficult to read. The piece is circulating among programmers interested in programming languages and how the human eye parses deeply nested syntax.
Why now: Programmers are debating the readability of Lisp's syntax and find a neuroscience-based explanation novel and convincing.
