It's really not as weird or as esoteric as the memes would lead you to believe.

(Common) Lisp is multi paradigm so you can write code that looks very much like "C with the parenthesis in the wrong spot" and it'll work just fine until you evolve a more idiomatic/"lispy" style.

If you're proficient in C, Java, and Python you already have everything you need to be proficient in lisp. It's honestly not that difficult to learn.
