Optics. That's the true name of the evil overlord.
Government cares about "looking" like they are doing the right thing. Because they want to get public support.
Then there is corruption. But I will say that's a secondary issue. Anyways, I am pretty sure once govt changes were I am from, former politicians will find a job easily in pharma. Again this is secondary and will always happen.
I never said PRN is simpler.
It is just as hard as infix.
I do not like PNR any better or worse. It takes me about 5 minutes to switch from lisps to others and back. I just put the parens in the wrong place a couple of times and I am done.
Paredit + PNR makes editing slightly more comfy, but that's it. They are the same thing.
I ate two bananas before my motorcycle test for their placebo effects to calm nerves. Cool as a cucumber I passed without a jitter on the throttle. It's anect-data-l. I know.
A) I would say lisps are rather boring. Clojure, one of the most recent ones hasn't changed in 15 years.
B) most systems are built in C, Java, Python. So no wonder most complex systems are written in those.
