The Loudest Lisp Program
But after you get past some basic weird stuff, it's a quite wonderful language.
> I can only speak for myself, but I definitely reason about code outside in rather than inside out.
You can indent code to make it much easier to "parse", and use some macros that turn the code inside/out, it's more readable than most other languages.
The CL cookbook is an excellent resource, and this page links to several other excellent resources and books you can read for free online: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/
The "new docs" also present the documentation in a "modern" looking way (rather than the 90's looks of what you get if you Google around): https://lisp-docs.github.io/cl-language-reference/
About other Lisps...
The Racket Guide is definitely not "bone-dry": https://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/intro.html
It is well written and looks very beautiful to me.
On another Scheme, I find Guile docs also great: https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/index.ht...
They may be a bit more "dry" but they're to the point and very readable! In fact, I think Lisp languages tend to have great documentation.

Gamedev in Lisp. Part 1: ECS and Metalinguistic Abstraction
> the problem with Lisp is that it's sorta bundled with Emacs
What's the problems with Alive, SLT, Slyblime, and Vlime? I mean, I use Emacs, but I was using Emacs before getting into Scheme and CL anyway.
> Every website that teaches Lisp is in ugly HTML+CSS-only style
I dunno, I feel like the Community Spec (<https://cl-community-spec.github.io/pages/index.html>) and the Cookbook (<https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/>) are fine.
> I like the philosophy of (s-exp) but modern lisps have ruined its simplicity for me by introducing additional bracket notations [like this].
Yes, that additional notation is a terrible blight on the perfection that is S-expressions, I wholeheartedly agree.

It's a good book!
Modern companions would be:

Good short documentation for CL functions (etc.) available?
For more beginner-friendly, I suggest P. Siebels Practical Common Lisp or The CL Cookbook. Both of those should be available in Emacs info format! If authors are lurking in here :-)
