Why is Python popular, while Lisp and Scheme aren't?

loop? never heard of it. :)

or... loop? no way, not enough parens.

i am thinking of breaking down and learning some core loop since I 
gather it /does/ express succinctly some of the stuff I have to do 
byhand to keep efficient, such as:

   (let (result)
    (dolist (x l (nreverse result))
       (unless (run-away x)
          (push x result))))

btw, I never read any code, even my own. if I look at it, I rewrite it. 
(i try not to look.)
