Lisp sans (((paren-theses ((hell)))))We hear this refrain time and again - "I can't stand the parentheses in lisp". Left to myself, I'd argue that lisp/scheme's parenthetical expressions are simple and elegant, but I do know some good programmers who stay away from lisps purely for syntactic reasons. Not that I searched deep, but I didn't find any good existing solutions to the problem other than switch language to Ruby or Python and family, so I tried solving it myself and would like your comments on my solution to the lisp readability "problem". I've described it here and put up C source code for the translator ez2scm on google code hosting as well.
