I find LISP syntax to be quite easy on the eyes, personally. Of course, since whitespace is unimportant in LISP, it is easy to write unreadable, non-indented code, but it is also easy not to.

Javascript might be easy to learn, but generally people don't do very complex things in Javascript. Actually, if you ignore the syntax, Javascript is closer in some ways to LISP than it is to C/C++/Java.

I heard it described as the "soul of lisp in the body of java" ;)
