Lisp is perfectly suited for this task due to the minimal and familiar syntax to non-programmers. Math should be taught in prefix notation if u ask me.

Familiar? Seriously?!? That syntax is not familiar to non-programmers.

Perhaps it should, but it's not.

Or was this whole post sarcasm, and it was done so well that I missed it?

There must be a name for that, when someone casually says something is simple when it is in fact a very complicated subject.

EDIT: After some googling, TIL humblebragging.

Well, hopefully nobody ever asks you!
