I'm pretty sure one could create a set of rules with penalty scores, like latex
does, for rendering the prettiest, most dense code.

But I find this to be the most readable.

> [x y w (inc h)]]
I wonder if this wouldn't be handled better by a matrix tagged literal.
I find manual column alignment to be a ridiculous time waster when refactoring
code.
Few tools help and changing a single symbol messes up the entire function.
> (cond
> (pred1) (consequence1)
> (pred2 x z) (consequence2))
>
> (cond
> (pred1)
> (consequence1)
> (pred2 x z)
> (consequence2))
This looks like it could be formatted with a penalty based rule system as well.

In a structural editor you would probably have no comments in the source, see
gorilla-repl or mathematica notebooks.

These ad-hoc things might make the code astheatically pleasing, but hard to
read imho.
