Sounds like what you want is clojure. Once you know what ()[]{}#'@ mean, you only need to basically understand the couple dozen "stdlib" functions and you're good to go.

Or a more pure, simpler LISP like a member of the Scheme family.

Academically sure, in the real world I think Clojure has more advantages in terms of tooling, evolution potential and community/ecosystem. Aside from the "nitty gritty" aspects related to being hosted on the jvm I find clj to be the superlative of simpleness.
