After programming in Common Lisp for a few years (a long time ago) and then later on having a brief period where I was fond of Python, I did also become fascinated with the concept of lisps where indentation replaces parenthesis such as Wisp:

Mind you - I usually end up concluding that Lisp syntax is actually pretty good as it is...

There's a new one, pretty good, resembling Python/Julia syntax, check it out! https://moonli-lang.github.io/

    defun multiply-thrice(x):
      print(x * x * x)
    end

    multiply-thrice(23)

It all ends up like YAML. Thanx but I'd rather take the parens any day.

I've always been tempted with wisp. Ever since I saw SRFI-110. Love the concept.

I just never quite manage to grasp the new syntax.
