I had similar-ish thoughts while watching the excellent Fructure talk at
this year's RacketCon: maybe intro courses would be more willing to pick
up Racket and not be scared of its syntax if the default educational
language was more like Scratch.  One nice thing about Fructure is that
it didn't present any parentheses, but I suspect that the way that it
presented grouping meant that if you eventually switched from that mode
of writing code over to textual parenthetical notification, it would
feel like a fairly natural shift.
