I believe it's purely seeing lines that end with )))))))) that leads the OP's observation ("To me, how Lisp looks is its worst quality--the number of parentheses is just mind boggling"). You don't get that in a C-like syntax. In practice you don't read each individual closing paren to understand the code so it doesn't matter. But it sure looks "scary." |

No, instead you get something like );}]);) except that that's usually split up over several lines.
BTW, it's pretty easy to tweak Lisp's syntax so that your parens don't get so deeply nested. See

for an example.
