I don't think they're fine with print(foo) and stuck at (print foo). They're fine with: if a < b + c then d * e - f And stuck at: (if (< a (+ b c))

I don't think they're fine with print(foo) and stuck at (print foo). They're fine with: if a < b + c then d * e - f And stuck at: (if (< a (+ b c)) (- (* d e))) I personally don't mind s-expr syntax, but not having any infix expressions or precedence levels means a lot more parentheses in idiomatic code.
