title: Why is it customary to put many closing parentheses on one line in Lisp-based languages?
body: <p>Usually code looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(one-thing
      (another-thing arg1 (f arg5 r))
      (another-thing arg1 (f arg5 r)))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why doesn't it like this?:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(one-thing
      (another-thing arg1 (f arg5 r))
      (another-thing arg1 (f arg5 r))
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It allows adding and removing "another-thing" lines more easily (without removing and re-adding trailing closing parenthesis). Also you can put a some comment on that lone closing parenthesis (such as "; end of the loop").</p>
  
  <p>How bad is it when I mix by code that uses the second style with existing code that uses the first style?</p>
