Ah, it's sad to hear that. People can be so emotional, just because of a bit of syntax. But since you have full control, you could introduce some extra syntactic sugar as well and desugar it into regular lisp/racket syntax before parsing, no? As an alternative with a completely different syntax, I found Scala to be extremely nice for building DSLs. Probably the best typesafe language for DSLs out there. It's only really good on the JVM though.
