Usually code looks like this:
(one-thing
(another-thing arg1 (f arg5 r))
(another-thing arg1 (f arg5 r)))
Why doesn\'t it like this?:>
I think a good answer to this is ask a related question:
why don't Python programmers put the glyphs that close nesting on their own lines?
And the answer now is obvious: there are no such glyphs. And it turns out that there are no such glyphs in Lisp either: yes, there are these mildly annoying (
and )
characters that the Lisp reader needs, but human beings do not read Lisp code like this: they read it by indentation and words.
