As a parentheses hater my personal hell would be having to audit and refactor a lisp codebase
My work maintains a legacy AutoCAD addin written in Lisp... we are considering dropping support because it's so difficult to maintain with the original dev gone
Oof. Is that the official plugin language? Siemens NX uses "grip" which is a fork of TCL. And they require purchase of a pricy package to sign and compile code so NX will run it, so we only had one programmer for our custom grip functions.
Having worked with Clojure for over a decade now, I find it far easier to refactor than most other languages I've touched.
