Clojure would be a nice language to master.

With any basic editor that matches opening and closing parentheses from the coder's perspective it's as if the parentheses vanish

When I learned LISP the books would joke Lost In Stupid Parenthesis 😂

"So fricking many parentheses…I've always thought there is a friendlier version of LISP hiding out there somewhere".

Well there is—it's Logo, created 9 years after LISP, in 1967. Logo is like Lisp without the requirement of so many parentheses.

Wikipedia in re Logo: "Modeled on LISP…The language was conceived to teach concepts of programming related to Lisp…Logo is a multi-paradigm adaptation and dialect of Lisp, a functional programming language."

From the inventor of a language that is chock full of excise and pointless c**p, unbelievable.
The parentheses are a non-issue if you have a decent text editor.
Lisp does the same job and more than Java with 1/5th the code.
Java is the language for corporate drones.

Read On Lisp by Paul Graham and have your mind blown.

Why would anyone start with such a completely absurd title? Java has too much syntax would be more accurate. :)

LISP is short for Lots of Idiotic Stupid Parenthesis.
