Lisp programmers would love to disagree

Parenthesis are not unnecessary in Lisp they're an essential delimiter in defining an s-expression's structure (does not need to be parenthesis but some token is required).

But for me that one bit of syntax is a lot less that the multitude required for many languages.

For something even more syntactically minimal there is Forth.
