Alan Kay on Lisp
Actually, I am missing the simplicity of Lisp and Smalltalk in todays languages. From what I remember, they both have a fairly simple but universal syntax, which can be written for Lisp as<p><pre><code>  ([operator] [argument1] [argument2] [argumentN])
</code></pre>
and for Smalltalk as<p><pre><code>  [object] [message]
</code></pre>
So far I haven&#x27;t seen anything like that for languages with the C-like syntax. Don&#x27;t get me wrong. For example I love Go, but sometimes I miss the beauty of Lisp and Smalltalk.
