I'm amused by the fact that when you criticize LISP's syntax, defenders always say the syntax doesn't matter and real Lisp programmers don't even see the parenthesis. But then you look at these implementations of Lisp-like variants of existing programming languages and the thing the developers are most enamored with is the repetitive, parenthesis-laden syntax of Lisp, while keeping the majority of the non-Lisp semantics in tact (adding just a few functional conveniences like first class functions).
I'm not even criticizing, most of these are hobby projects and you can code how you like. I just think it's funny how hard Lisp clings onto the parenthesis thing while claiming the parenthesis thing doesn't matter.
