   With long programs, the ease with which you can read them becomes very

   a good programming style would alleviate some of the worst cases), where
   the ML equivalent would allow you to forget this particular gripe.



this is a common misconception of people who haven't used lisp to any
degree. 

when you read lisp, you read indentation.  when you write lisp, you
use the parens to tell the editor how to indent your code.  this is
actually easier to edit and read than most other syntaxes.
