I don't believe this.  If the parens were the problem, then why didn't
M-expressions gain popularity?  Why didn't CGOL?  Why didn't Dylan?
Why hasn't *any* alternative syntax helped? (Honu, anyone?)

And why aren't parens a problem in C:

          if (unlikely(!access_ok(VERIFY_READ, iocbpp, (nr*sizeof(*iocbpp)))))
                return -EFAULT;

or Java?

        private static void defCategory(String name,
                                        final int typeMask) {
            map.put(name, new CharPropertyFactory() {
                    CharProperty make() { return new Category(typeMask);}});
        }
