I think it's the positioning of them that makes them stand out to people, plus the fact that they tend to bunch up at the end of things.

Of course, I know. But most people express it as 'too many parens', without (I believe) actually thinking too hard. I was just trying to provoke a few thoughts!

The position of parens is something to get used to, but then again so is Python's indentation, Scala's type system, etc etc. Every language has something unique to get used to.
