> The lack of syntax makes python a great language for prototyping

And I thought Lisp had a lack of syntax.




I meant more along the lines of what the author is describing. There's not a ton of syntax in lisp (of which I only have a cursory understanding - so take with salt) but python has the most "readable" syntax. Words like: "with", "is", "not" are all keywords replacing more traditional operators.
