I think simpler is better when it comes to structured editing. Recursive teXt has the advantage that it proposes a simple block structure built into the text itself [1]. Of course, you will need to design your language to take advantage of this block structure.

Since Lisp has been around since 1960... Congratulations, you're only about 64 years late.

No doubt, brackets of course also convey structure. But I think indentation is better for visualising block structure. Inside these blocks, you can still use brackets, and errors like missing opening or closing brackets will not spill over into other blocks.

And yeah, I am definitely coming for Lisp.
