As i understand, the beauty of languages like LISP and Racket, is that, you can easily compose functions. Basically, as i read source code, i'm reading a "programming composition sheet", just like music sheet.

The only annoying thing, is how to reduce brackets ( and ) from distracting content from its layout.

Of course Python is not the answer (due to its strict identation on space/tabs)

If i could teach newscomer about programming, i would say: Programming = composition of functions.
