@c_reider as a former and occasional lisp programmer those unbalanced parens being more correct are killing me rn

@rbxbx @c_reider They're not more correct, they're just more palindromic! Palindromicness (palindromicity? palindromishness? palindromeity? palindromitude? none of these are good) is not a requirement for a Lisp form. So just think about it that way and be less killed rn.

@hikinghack @c_reider because the individual characters are written in reverse order. the image of the word itself isn't flipped, so even though ()() looks more symmetrical, it's not actually a palindrome

@hikinghack @AntigenderDeity @c_reider another way to make this easier to see is to just sub in letters, abab is not a palindrome, abba is
