A lot of people blame Lisp for too many brackets, but I generally feel they are not the issue after reading Lisp for a while. What may make it scientist-unfriendly is to write math formulas in infix grammar.

Incanter has the $= macro for writing infix expressions, so I don't think that need be an issue.
