want to contribute solutions:

Re: [racket-users] Re: The case, and a proposal, for elegant syntax in #lang racket2

[Dario Maiocchi]

HI all, 

I would personally be unhappy if in racketlang2 we would remove the  (). I 
don't think they represent a real issue. 

Just to share my personal experience a professional programmer. I learned 
clojure  like 7 months ago and now I'm learning racketlang and  I never 
felt the () as a barrier.
