S-expressions is basically no syntax. Human-readability depends solely on the person that comes up with the schema. I mean there's many reasons to love S-expressions but human-readability is an unusual one. edn [0] is an interesting compromise (as is clojure).
XML is actually IMO not that bad at human readability, it's pretty good. It's terrible at human writability. Conversely S-exps are lovely to work with.
