I find that S-expressions are the best syntax for programming languages. And in general infix operators are inferior to either prefix or postfix notation.
In case you haven't heard, Factor just had a new stable release, and is tons of fun for postfix enthusiasts.
100%! It was mind-blowing to realize lisps are actually syntactically simpler than all the non-lisps so popular today
Takes a bit of love from editor standpoint unfortunately, so most devs will just never attempt that hurdle
