I knew there was a reason I didn't like Lisp.

I know you're memeing, but if I know my Lisp, just wrapping something in triple parens implies evaluating it three times. So you have an expression evaluating to a producer that produces another producer that finally produces a value?

I'm sure there's a legit use case for it. I just can't think of one.

What bash, that's Lisp. Source is marked as bash.
