Because the syntax of Scheme, Lisp etc. is strange to me. I don't speak
lightly, 'cause I have tried some of the dialects (although it was a long
time ago). It was not that I couldn't write correct code in it, but after
implementing some of my "test" programs that I write in every new language
I try, I looked at them and thought "O my god, what a mess". Guess that
it's my brain fooling me...

This is coming close to trolling, IMHO.
