Isn't it tiring to type so many parenthesis all the time? This is probably my first time encountering a Lispy language, other than Logo.
Plus, there are not a lot of semi-colons and commas in JS and Python.
Of course, there are constructs such as `let` and `cond` that are more parenthetically noisy (not so much in Clojure though), but on the flip side you don’t have to remember a lot of special syntax like in non-lisp languages.
Most Lisp-people also use structural editing tools like paredit[1], which make it really easy to write and edit s-expressions. I found that after some time I didn’t really think that much about parentheses anymore.

(defn fizzbuzz [n]
(cond
(zero? (rem n 15)) "FizzBuzz"
(zero? (rem n 3)) "Fizz"
(zero? (rem n 5)) "Buzz"
:else (str n)))
(defn print-fizzbuzz [n]
(doseq [i (range 1 (inc n))]
(println (fizzbuzz i))))
This looks overwhelming for someone who hasn't written any Lisp. My thought looking at this code was that I have to type a parenthesis before formulating any thought. Which is crazy because it's not some huge thing. It's like saying I have to press Enter before writing a line of Python.
