I'm afraid that prefix notion, huge numbers of round brackets and program
structure looking like normal code is not helpful to me.  I want a system
that is simple/readable and allows me to concentrate of the project instead
of the code.

LISP is not the only language I have used where program structure wasn't
obvious.  In 1975/76, I used APL extensively and it used normal data for
program structure.  This was a very elegant language but this aspect and the
right to left execution were nothing but a bother all the time.

I do like the way LISP uses macros to create source at compile time and so I
have added this to my language.

Sorry, LISP or any kind of LISP just won't do.
