> The thing is, lispers don't want more syntax. Lisp already has a lot syntax, but on top of s-expressions. Lispers usually want to keep that two-stage syntax: s-expressions for data and Lisp on top of s-expressions. This enables the simple s-expression data representation and manipulation to be applied to programs, too. Lispers did not really reject the non-s-expression Dylan syntax - it was never developed for them. Apple developed that syntax and Dylan to target non-Lisp developers.
