main problem isn't brackets themselves - it's that they're too on the right

had brackets been displayed as curly braces in C - everything would look much more manageable

so, instead of

    (foo (bar (1 2 3))

    {
      foo {
        bar {
          1
          2
          3
        }
      }
    }

I changed my opinion about parens when I stopped formatting like C, and used indent rather than parens to denote blocks. That is, a large amount of them at the end is totally fine.
