I remember at one PLoP conference (2001?), Martin Fowler and I were debugging code written in this newly trendy language Ruby, without much luck.
Famed Lisp hacker Richard P. Gabriel leaned over, looked at the code, growled in his deep voice, “That language has too much syntax”, and leaned back to what he’d been doing.
Feeling a bit that way about Swift.
(RPG was right: it was a precedence problem that couldn’t have happened in Common Lisp.)
