Originally Lisp was suppossed to have a different syntax. See the McCarthy papers on early Lisp.
The LISP2 project was a huge effort during the 60s to define a successor to LISP1, including a conventional syntax.

People have been trying, on and off, to fix Lisp with different syntax since at least the early 1970's.
I'm of course thinking of CGOL [1973]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CGOL
Lisp is still here; CGOL, for all intents and purposes, isn't.
