WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Using highlight-parentheses-mode, which is an additional package, helps. There are also show-paren-mode (build in) and rainbow-delimiters (additional package), whose could help there.
There is paren-face-mode that can dim the parentheses, especially useful until your mind gets used to lisps.
paren-face-mode can be combined with aggressive-indent-mode to help oneself focus on the indentation the way a lisper should
For something fancy, there's also rainbow-blocks and rainbow-identifiers

(Shameless plug) I'm maintaining a (still quite experimental because I don't personally use it) emacs-noob for people new to emacs but not wanting any long term relation with emacs, or want to focus on learning common lisp first and emacs second. You might find slime-company or slime-company-modern branches useful if this fits your use case.
One thing is just "getting used to it", another is to keep documentation handy. slime-describe-symbol usually bound to C-c C-d d or if you want something fancy, there's company-show-doc-buffer. Also useful would be https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#reference
