It wasn't. I assume now even more, you never came much in contact with Lisp. Laughing on the parens is what many people do -- ones who never recognized the conceptual elegance of the Lisp syntax. I am one of the C folks too, but I learned about Lisp. Its syntax is based on such a simple concept, that it can not be anything else than clean. Please, first understand the concepts of the Lisp syntax and ignore your habits, then tell again there is no cleaner syntax than C's. meillo
