Again, I don't think it will help attract new users, at least not the way we want. Parentheses are an important part of the language and it's not something a beginner can just pick up later. If they're scared of parentheses now, they'll be scared when they try to jump from this paren-lite syntax to full Clojure. And it's for the same reasons that Python doesn't have a 'simpler' version without significant whitespace.
