#2Hm, this feels like comitting hara-kiri, but I actually found the eight queens sample:

A lot more readable than the 'regular' lisp version:

By automating the process of converting between 'indented' lisp and 'regular' lisp those that want it can have it and those that do not can simply ignore it.

The "more readable version" does have some parentheses, doesn't this make it hard for beginners? Sometimes you use and sometimes you don't. The site is inaccessible right now, so I have not read everything, only parts of it via google cache...

I think that's partly because the way it's written is much more readable. Larger font probably doesn't hurt either (though the caps does).

Well not really, Pythons' syntax isn't homoiconic.

Why are people up-voting this? This is a recipe for bugs.
