all of that certainly explains why there're just a few implementations for the
language.  Having fun with significant whitespace?

One of the things that really attracts me to Lisp, or rather its clean and
minimalist variant Scheme, is the regularity of the language and homoiconicity
thing.  There's very little actual syntax, just parenthesized prefixed function
application.  There're loads of implementations for every platform. no
significant whitespace in sight, but that's traded for parentheses LOL. The
difference is that they actually help rather than get in the way
