Code readability depends mostly on giving variables and functions meaningful names, and function size/number of variables. That applies to all languages. Code layout/indentation is also an issue, but there's a single standard for Lisp, which Emacs is aware of.

It's an issue for all languages which don't force layout/indentation. Why does Lisp gets criticized for parens when the C family has curly braces all over the place?

  Moreover, people write Makefiles for C, containing notation like: $(patsubst %.foo,%.bar,$(foreach blah,$(VAR),\ whatever $(blah))) People who can say with a straight face they find Lisp parentheses confusing have GNU Makefiles full of this crap, well debugged and all.
