As for Ten parentheses, i do not see a single one. Noone notices
starting parens because they are markers saying this is a function.
And of course noone notices ending parens because they are for your
IDE, not for the human.
This is I like, I'd never thought about S-exprs this way

Yeah, only every time you write a simple mathematical expression. And how often

I see Clojure is well on the way to building a community at least as

If you compare the IDE support required for different languages, the support
required to write syntactically correct Clojure code is pretty small compared
to others.

I guess it's mostly a matter of judging a language by its long-term
merits instead of initial appearance -- just like with so many other
things in life.
That - right there - is a tacit admission that the Clojure community will find
it actively desirable that it remain a minority language,
