Comment:
I was never arguing for making the syntax more Lisp-like.
In fact, I am arguing for following (for example) Python's more closely, with a few obvious extensions for Cactus (e.g. handle :: to separate thorn/parameter names etc.). Defining our own syntax will only confuse people and make things more complex.
