Seems like a pretty fun language with an unfortunate amount of 90s baggage.
However, I firmly believe that trying to de-parenthesise lisp is a distraction. The main reason being that s-expressions make the beloved code=data concept very obvious.
A suitable editor makes it really easy to ignore the parens (until they're useful, e.g. for navigation). When reading, the structure of the code is inferred from indentation and line breaks. Just like C.
I get that it is an evolution, but building on top of SBCL seems like it would have made more sense.
