Admittedly, I find writing numerical code easier in C as it closer follows the standard arithmetical notation, with operator precedence and all. My brain is not wired for prefix maths in lisp. I would have to use some macro that converts infix notation to the prefix one for anything more complex than 3 + 4 * 5.
