I've been vexed for a while about parenthetical syntax: I love it, appreciate what it offers, but also recognize that no amount of teaching or arguing alters how people perceive it. With the switch to Racket, and our continuing interest in user interface issues, I believe it is wise to consider an optional alternate syntax.
I finally had a breakthrough last weekend on how to create a syntax that may be more palateable without losing the essence of parenthetical syntax. As a preview, it does incorporate indentation, but in a good way. You'll see. Feedback welcome. The most important is whether you spot any flaws regarding predictable parsing.
