No, it's just training. You are just unfamiliar with Lisp code. After a few days training, you should have little problem reading Lisp code. It's like bicycle riding: people can't believe that it is possible to balance it, but after a few lessons it's no problem.

That's an old saying:

'Anyone could learn Lisp in one day, except that if they already knew Fortran, it would take three days.' (Marvin Minsky)



I tried to get used to it, I couldn't.
