Anyone tried lisp? Looks something like this. ((()))()())))

Remarkable how if the parenthesis is shifted from lambda() to (lambda), people lose the ability to comprehend things.

Isn't it more like
foo(){…} -> (define foo (lambda ()))
tbf?

In Emacs Lisp, you use one of these two:

(defun funcname (arg1 arg2) (+ arg1 arg2))

(lambda (arg1 arg2) (+ arg1 arg2))

— with the latter typically being an argument to another function or macro.

In clojure it's (def (fn [])) or short (defn []).
