includes "Pascal shares my disdain for the aberration that is Lisp-1 and doesn't tire of telling Schemers so."

So far as I can tell, Wat is a lisp-1 ... and given I started on scheme, I've always seen lisp-2 as the aberration.

Is there an explanation you'd recommend of why you feel differently?

I like that in Common Lisp, I can have a variable, a function, and a class called "list". Feels natural to me.

The issue is not that important, both Lisp-1 and Lisp-2 are fine. I want to experiment with colored syntax one day, and use different colors for the different namespaces.
