Yes, TAO is most likely the most minimal syntax, even more minimal than S-expressions. It has only 3 special symbols: the brackets [] and the grave accent `.
They are among the rarest to be found in any kind of text, but at the same time the most ergonomic to enter on a typical keyboard (no need to hold shift).
In this way it gets out of the way almost completely while still being a complete syntax.
