Well it’s impossible to remove all of the parentheses in Lisp, ..... One alternative to parentheses is being sensitive to white space, in a way that is reminiscent of Python. Lisp without Parenthesis
A good post, which goes along the lines of what I'm playing with as well. He (Peter Schombert) suggests using \ as line continuation mark, which is in line with tradition. I would probably prefer it in the end, as opposed to the beginning of a line, but that's sugar.
I wonder, how hard it would be to add such a language extention to mzscheme.
Me being a noobie, I haven't had a clue that there is an SRFI, which implements that already.

Maybe if the parens are truly irritating to you, you might enjoy Dylan?
not really annoyed
It's not about being annoyed. It is about finding gloves that fit.
The layout syntax, could be a good variation for somebody to learn on. It's probably sugar, but so what?
Dylan is ok.
