Pfff... The Lisp syntax is one of the simplest, comprehensible, readable, no-BS sugar things. People with shallow experience often say it looks weird, but with some hands-on experience, you soon appreciate its elegance and power. The consistent, minimalist syntax becomes second nature and reveals its true beauty and functionality.

You can easily read Lisp code off your phone screen - it wraps around, but retains the structure. Try that trick with pretty much any non-lispy language - even "the most elegant Python" fails there, face flat.

EDN & Transit is far better than JSON - EDN is more flexible and expressive than JSON, making it a superior choice for data serialization. It's also more than two times smaller and cleaner, commas are completely optional.

Hiccup is better than JSX & HTML - far more easier, cleaner, shorter and nicer to work with.

similarly,

s-expressions are better that XML & Yaml;

CL's PLISTs and ALISTs & Clojure maps are better than Dicts/Hashes in other languages.

Basically, you can leverage the expressiveness and simplicity of Lisp-like syntax to offer structured, readable, and powerful data representations. Add to that the ability to evaluate any given form on the fly through a connected REPL, basically "trying things while you read them," and that changes everything you thought you knew about the readability of code.

Those who call Lisp "non-readable" I suppose, in fact, never tried to actually read it. Of course, if you never learn a language, it would remain incomprehensible.
