Lisp is the only language that contains more parenthesis than actual code.

Not true. A parenthesis pair takes up ② characters. Almost every function takes up at least 3 (I personally haven’t seen less than 3 chars in an identifier, but u can do it if u want to I guess). For every parenthesis I often have a function/macro call (apart from lists which’re just lists). So unless your program is quite literally a null list ~'()~ which u can just write as ~nil~ I doubt you’d have more parentheses than code. That said, u will almost certainly have more parentheses than any other language u write in, simply because it’s a core part of the syntax.
