I think Haskell offers some decent competition, but I respect your opinion.
I have observed as a matter of empirical fact (not opinion) that the
parentheses are a barrier for many people---just as many people find
S-expression syntax supremely elegant. I happen to be one of those people
for whom the parentheses are a barrier. This means I can appreciate Lisp
and Scheme only as long as I don't have to get anything done ;-)
