I think it's just an exposure thing, it takes time to adjust to if you're not used to it, but after a certain amount of time the parens fade into background noise. The hardest part is having to learn a tool like Paredit to intelligently restructure lisp code, but tools like Parinfer are making that transition easier. After working with mostly Python and Clojure since 2015, I now have a similar gut reaction to curly brace languages that most people have to lisps. I find ClojureScript much more readable and aesthetically pleasing than Javascript.
