Well, I may be a few seconds early, but I'm curious to hear from the
newbies that are no longer using training wheels as to how awful they
thought parenthesis were at the beginning, how long it took them to get
used to them, and what they think now.


I like parenthesis and prefix from beginning. However, I think
that usual f(x,y,z) would be better choice than (f x y z).


I like that too.
It is not disimular to the approach mathematica uses.
This would perhaps be the best place to get a taste of how it could work.
