Really? I write almost nix every day at work and I have no problem with the syntax. I think it's pretty elegant and well-suited to its use case. There are a few minor tweaks I would make but nothing big at the syntactic level.

EDIT: probably the only gripe I would make is to have comma-separated lists instead of having to use parentheses to separate non-atomic expressions.

Wait no separators are evil. This is the best thing about the syntax.
