Yep, my thoughts exactly.

If you call it lispy it's gotta use parens.

The curlies immediately suggest some broken json or perl hash.

I can see the lispy spirit in applying the car to the cdr, and I like it!

One first bug report (or feature removal request):

  makes it to the output, but is replaced with the U+00A0 character in the input textarea.

{p like   so}

What's the concern with a real lisp syntax?

I for one like it!
