I don't think right parentheses are a problem for the following reasons:

* I don't type right parens. If you use Emacs and haven't tried Paredit (http://mumble.net/~campbell/emacs/paredit.el), I would highly suggest it.

* I don't read right parens, at least not in the multiline case. Instead, I read the indentation and the contents of the line, so the parens really don't get in the way at all.

I do think the : operator is an interesting idea for the single line case, when you might have something like

  (foo a (bar b (baz c))) => (foo a : bar b : baz c)
in the middle of a line.
