> To the untutored eye, Lisp is a strange programming language. In Lisp code there are parentheses everywhere. Some people even claim that the name stands for "Lots of Isolated Silly Parentheses". But the claim is unwarranted.
Someone show code in other programming languages want to show Lisp's parentheses is silly or other languages more elegant.
BUT: I can't find any language can treat the code is data and the code is data
AND: I can't find any except Lisp there is just one syntax ().
Go was a good choice. The project benefited from it, both from a hiring perspective and from a technical perspective. If I were in charge, I would make the exact same choice again.
Juju lives exactly in Go's sweet spot. A networked server worked on by more people than you can fit around your dining room table. Not every project would benefit from Go, but this one certainly did, IMO.
