Why do you think of parentheses as something about LISP that needs to be fixed? What exactly is the problem?

well backwards notationa nd parenthesis is not how we normally write and talk and it is a turnoff for a lot of people.

i dont personally have a problem with it but id prefer the same language with normal syntax/notation.
