As someone most at home in lisps--there's just no accounting for taste ;)

Is there a LISP with significant white space in place of parentheses? Our two groups could be united by the disgust of the rest of the programming community.
The Arc language wiki has this list of languages that make use of significant whitespace.

Works with both Scheme and Common Lisp, two most popular Lisps out there. Nobody uses it because paredit/parinfer is just too convenient, but the option is there.
