    Sorry, not a fan of “parenthesis pileup” layout.

    You've certainly come to the right language family, if you want to
    forever hack by yourself, doing things Your Way.

    I suspect you're doing your formatting manually, though, which takes
    more effort. The parentheses pileup is well supported in editors.

    If you don't want collaborators, you can just communicate that
    explicitly (e.g. a block comment saying ";; this is my solo work,
    patches will be rejected regardless of quality") and not inflict an
    unergonomic way of working on yourself.
