I love Lisp for the parenthesis and prefix notation. I am a math dunce writing programs to create vector and generative art. Lisp is my calculator and math coach. Clear inside-out order with function/operand appearing first to call out what we're doing makes me feel like I'm pretending to be Russell Crowe, pretending to be a great mathematician in a Beautiful Mind ;-)
Here's one for you: I would like lisp if it wasn't for the dynamic scoping. I appreciate the theoretical / math / lambda calculus reasoning behind it but UGH

Scheme then maybe? I believe it's addressed there; I didn't get to far into Structure and Interpretations of Computer Programs.
Seems to make more sense how I gravitated to Ruby & Lisp.
