Which is why "best of both worlds" approaches work best in my opinion, no matter if it's "just" automatic indentation and paren-counting that leaves actual editing to humans, or more intrusive approaches like Parinfer (mentioned in the article) that automatically infer parenthesisation from code indentation and edit the code as appropriate.
Properly indented Lisp is easy to read (for me), and badly indented code can be misread even in languages like C++.
