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

I know, but I personally find the way I wrote it to be easier to read.
You'll also note that I didn't use the normal C coding standard in the C
examples, and instead used the Java/C# standard (Which I prefer).

The normal C way to use {}s being:

if (a)
{
 asdf;
}

etc.
