Parentheism: philosophy or religion?

1 2023-08-04 11:09

How should we classify the extreme parentheist beliefs of Lispers? Is parentheism a philosophy, or is it a religion? Could it even be a dangerous cult or mental illness that is related to the fetishism of parentheses?

Bruno supposed an infinite scope.

It's plain pragmatism. We just need a way to distinguish between the functions and the parameters that enter into the function.

According to the writings of the Traditionalist School (cf. Rene Guenon, "Metaphysical Principles of Embedded Systems"), parentheism is the exoteric form of which reverse polish notation is the corresponding esoteric metaphysics. Neither is properly a "philosophy" in the classical Greek sense. For more see Confucius' Spring and Autumn annals (spring and autumn refer allegorically to the opening and closing parentheses) and Zhuangzi on the life FORTH (i.e., "force" pronounced with a Lisp).

Parentheism is a mental illness and it's sad that RMS got this disease.
Of course parentheses are good for one or a few logical purpose, but in Lisp it's just gone crazy, too much parentheses kills (the readability of) parentheses. And that is of course why I'm not interested at all in Lisp.

> 6, Nope, real programmers are all around the world and among Hindu, there are some that are among the real programmers.
