    I was about to type "Lisp". Then I realised, it's not confusing, just different. To be honest I can't think of anything language that looks confusing, although I guess some do if you don't take a little time to read about them and try to use them (like brain.......... and derivatives, forth - the list goes on, literally, somewhere on wikipedia).

    EDIT: Does that make sense to anyone? I'm reading it over and over and I'm convinced I'm drunk or something.

    I've always had trouble switching in and out Python, but it's not because it's confusing, but rather because it does many things differently.

    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
