I was joking about the syntax and the way how I just can't wrap my brain around reading lisp and matching parentheses.

I was not joking about the recursive and functional nature of Lisp, both of which I'm finding very interesting (and my coworker is, in fact, a big fan of Haskell)

The editor should help you use parens. http://code.google.com/p/counterclockwise/wiki/ScreenShots#S...

Rainbow parens are really helpful and so is automatic paren matching....
