I have an excellent idea:lets combine Lisp and Python.
Remove parens from Lisp and add forced indentation.
Indentation level corresponds to current parens level.

loop:

    print:

        eval:

            read:

; It's shit, right? It's shit.

Interesting concept, spatial deformation of the paren level process, and Abelson would probably argue you should be indenting with pretty printing anyways.

Bad idea. But you can do this for the first level. It would help with CLI.

Then you wouldn't have homoiconic language, which would be gay.

It has already been done, and turns out it's still unreadable. Face it, faggots, syntax is mandatory for a language to be readable.

It's called SRFI 49 and it's never used for obvious reasons.

Amazing Idea OP. I will email it to Sussman and Abelson.

Don't you call that language Haskell?

Lisp+Python:
The next step would be making all function words made of one character APL-like symbols using all the unicode space.
APL+PYTHON+Lisp.
Another step would be adopting a couple of higher order functions from Haskell, to chain function in that "point free" style for maximum readibility
APL+Haskell+Python+Lisp
Now all we need is ability to write inline C and Asm and the perfect language is made.

LISP is already FIOC. S-expressions are unreadable without proper indentation.

I wouldn't switch my font from Verdana just to read some parens soup, i'd rather write in C.

I have an excellent idea:lets combine Lisp and Haskell.
Remove dynamic typing from Lisp and add forced category-theory.
Prepromorphism cycle corresponds to current semigroupoid level.

You should check out Qi(its Lisp variant with Haskell features)

I came ITT expecting something intelligent about puzzle solving with Professor Layton.
Got the same shit instead.
I am disappoint.
