Back when I was still in school, I ran a few tests on real world LISP and Java (the then dominant language, this was in the late days of Sun Microsystems succes).
Turns out most LISP programs had fewer parentheses then Java had braces, parens and brackets.
Java follows the paradigm of boilerplate oriented programming.
