Even though I'm firmly in the familiarity camp, I love this description of what it's like to be fully lisp-pilled. I definitely want to try it out one day.


One doesn't need to dance around weird circles to give it a try. VSCode's Calva extension has great "Quickstart guide". Or you can just install Clojure, run it - it drops you into a REPL. Once you ready to get serious, grok some basic structural editing commands (grabbing an expression and moving it somewhere else would suffice) and REPL-driven workflow (Lispers typically don't type into REPL, they eval things directly where the source is)
