It’s denser but that’s a good thing. I think that the need for a lot of empty lines is something people tend to grow out of over time. Usually they’re used to make it easier to skip over lines that are less important, but you can learn to do that sort of thing using the subtler cues available in the structure of the lisp code. I have seen very new programmers put three or four blank lines in a row over and over again, just so that they have the visual space to let them think about a small fraction of their code at a time without getting distracted by the code before and after. Lisp programmers tend to make their functions smaller, simpler, and purer instead, and end up with blank lines only between top–level forms such as functions.
