Got it! Damn parentheses. What a difference a ( ) makes.


For me, one of the biggest pains in programming, and the cause of more
bugs and
other problems than anything else, is trying to get my parentheses in
the right places.
I've recently had the "opportunity" to work with the Scheme programming
language.
What's one of the key structural elements of its syntax? Parentheses!

Talk about a user-unfriendly language.


Yes, it is a big problem-- that is, until you're mind is sufficiently
expanded that you look at software in a whole new way and the parenthesis
"dissolve" into the background. It's almost a kind of a "magic-eye" sort of
thing, IYSWIM. Good luck, hope you eventually "get it"
