Ironically, what I miss most from Python is Python2's print, which for a language proud of getting rid of parenthesis, that is very contradictory....
Same here. I will probably keep using Python 2 for as long as it works... simply because I don't have to type those parentheses.

echo "hello world"
echo("hello world")

As someone most at home in lisps--there's just no accounting for taste ;)

Perhaps you'd enjoy Nim which supports both. echo "hello world" echo("hello world") and as a bonus, also the following: "hello world".echo
> print("OK")
> print "OK"
> ("OK %d"):format(1)
I've seen some funky (ab)use of these, people using literal strings and tables and functions named class and similar to do:
> class "Something" {
> -- ...
> }

You try to figure out how to do something, you see 3 different solutions and you ask yourself, what's the difference? What's more correct? Will I need one over the other? Are they compatible? Is one way better supported than the other?
The amount of time I've spent looking up differences between two APIs or two paradigms in Typescript is seriously ridiculous. And it feels really bad to not recognize something you've done before because it's written differently.
Common culprits: require() and imports, the countless ways of creating classes, the crazy amount of different ways to implement similar or identical workflows in webpack and pretty much the entire JS ecosystem in general.

Is there a LISP with significant white space in place of parentheses? Our two groups could be united by the disgust of the rest of the programming community.
