> like an affine transformation between lisp code and algol family stuff like c

I wonder how far one might go introducing common lisp with parallel examples in javascript and python -- something like a Rosetta Stone approach, also likening ')' and '}' and <dedent>.

Very far. actually thats probably a really good way to do it.

lisp for python devs, amd its just basic python shit on the left page, and the clisp version on the right page.

We do the same thing for human language books. Ive got a copy of the little prince where the left is in english and the right is in japanese. the bookstore is full of these.
