> I also find that s-exps act as a visual diagramming tool making your code more scannable because you can visually see the relationships between statements by looking at the nesting.
I think this is where people disagree regarding syntax. I love Clojure and agree with all the benefits of s-exps, but find it basically impossible to scan and very tedious to read. While it tends to be easy to refactor do to the REPL, at least for me it's on the wrong side of readability vs expressivity.
