> I wouldn't advise it, but you can do it. That's basically how I write functions in Lisp, with indentation levels and every closing parenthesis on a separate line. The thing is, when you're done writing a (leaf)function in Lisp, you're done: it works. Since you won't need to revisit it (unless the functional design changes), you clean it up for compactness by grouping all closing parenthesis together. I could be the only one, but I've always found it normal and practical to develop with indentation, and regroup when I'm done.
