Threading macros, rainbow parens, and paredit style auto closing parens make lisps syntaxes pretty easy to read and manage. I think declarative style languages like ML and Haskell took me longer to get familiar with than lisp style syntax, but that's probably just because I learned procedural languages first. And I think lisps tend to be more syntactically dense than say Python or C or other languages most people start with.
