having come to lisp from haskell which i thought was very elegant, i was
initially dismayed by the increased verbosity and those
parentheses. however, now haskell looks funny and lisp reads
beautifully, so part of it is no doubt a matter of usage.

i also found that working down rather than across helps a lot. so
instead of 

(setq whatever (func1 (func2 x y) (func3 a b))

this sort of thing is often preferable

(setq whatever
      (func1 (func2 x y)
             (func3 a b)))
