Yep, fundamentally Funcgo is just Lisp without parentheses. Or put it another way, it is Lisp with more syntax. The fact that Lisp has so little syntax is beautifully elegant from a mathematical point of view, but that is I believe at the expense of readability, at least for programmers coming from other programming traditions. Of course readability is somewhat subjective and I understand that for long-time Lisp programmers, Lisp is perfectly readable.
