The reason you are getting downvoted is not just because you are criticizing Lisp, it is also because you are posting a bunch of BS without understanding the difference between a context-free and a context-sensitive language. Please learn some basic parsing theory and then you will understand why your suggestion for a white space sensitive syntax for a homoiconic programming language is nonsense.
