: From my own experience having come late to lisp, I can tell
: you that there are many, many benefits of it that you can't
: have any idea of until you're exposed to them.

: Anyone done a parser for a parenthesized Java syntax yet?
: Why the heck not?  Call it Kona?  You've got enough of the
: runtime at your disposal to do real macros.

: If I had some money to throw around, I would
: fund and/or do both of these activities.

Soon, someone will write a compiler that translates Scheme to
Java byte-code.  Won't that give you what you want?  And, in
a standardized, well thought out language, too.
