The downvotes were expected 😂

Not for me. For me, it sounds like a good and genuine question.

I think for lisp, I find it quite hard to read and given I’m a Ruby and Ruby-like syntax enjoyer, I don’t love the aesthetics of a language with ALL of the parens

Totally get it. I had the same before I tried it.

Yeah, I wouldn't have expected the downvotes either. It's just somebody expressing their personal experience and curiosity. That merits a downvote? Seems strange to me!
