Lisps are great for fast iteration but the syntax is a big problem because it's so sensitive to a single misplaced paren.

That's more a problem for humans who have never programmed in a Lisp and are using notepad.exe.

    (if p (foo) (bar))

    if (p) { foo(); } else { bar(); }

    if p:
    <indent>foo()
    else:
    <indent>bar()
> LLMs like clean syntax with as little noise and unnecessary tokens as possible.

Isn't that good news for Lisps?

A Lisp with an HM type system and good error messages might be ideal for LLMs (if you don't want dependent types).
