Though these are minor complaints, there is a couple things I'd like to change about a Lisp language.

One is its the implicit function calls. For example, you'll usually see calls like this: `(+ 1 2)` which translates to 1 + 2, but I would find it more clear if it was `(+(1,2))` where you have a certain explicitness to it.

It doesn't stop me from using Lisp languages (Racket is fun, and I been investigating Clojure) but it took way too long for the implicit function stuff to grok in my brain.

My other complain is how the character `'` can have overloaded meaning, though I'm not entirely sure if this is implementation dependent or not
