This is the first time I'm looking closely at Clojure code and it seems wholly antithetical to the practice of software engineering. Not very readable, too many ways to create magical jank, odd coding conventions, and it looks like refactoring and maintenance would be a nightmare. I'm very glad the community has had the collective sense to not adopt this widely.



It's weird to dismiss something so easily after seeing it for the first time. Maybe you should give it more time.


By "looking closely at" do you mean you've actually grokked the language and used it to build anything?
