Not even to optimize for, but to write correct programs you really need to understand the runtime which is usually broader than the syntax.

All Clojure (lisps) do is remove the stupidity of syntax.

Even if syntax is the minor thing, why wear a stupid, uncomfortable shirt while running when you could wear one so comfortable you scarcely feel it?

Well I agree, that's why I use Elixir and not its underlying Erlang.

And I agree that most LISPs remove the stupidity of syntax. Very true.
