Yeah. On pain of being a Smug Lisp Weenie: syntax sucks and shouldn't get in the way of logic. If your only syntax is parens and it directly maps the underlying logic (especially in pure-ish functional programming) then syntax errors just drop away.
I write Clojure and Python mostly. And while the former is overall more difficult than the latter, I never get anything like a syntax error in the former and often do in the latter (eg silly stuff like forgetting print is just a function in 3)
