I find lisp to be a very non ergonomic language and am happy that python is the default.

  Can you quantify that?

    Let's just say that the weights of opening and closing parentheses do not cancel out.

      I've had way more issues with proper indentation in Python and YAML than I have with parenthesis in lisp. Meaningful whitespace is about the worst idea I've seen in a programming language.

      You would need to show that, including the parens, the average Lisp program requires more tokens than Python. I'm not sure that's true. Because Lisp has a lot of facilities for writing more concise code that are difficult to achieve without the parens.
