I've been learning Clojure for about a month now and like it so far.
In the interest of making it easier to convince other people to give
it a try, I think it would be a good idea to carefully consider some
readability issues before making the 1.0 release. I'd hate for people
to reject Clojure based on some of the syntax looking as difficult to
read as Perl code. I'm mainly referring to reader macros.
I feel that some reader macros are easily justified based on the
frequency of their use. For example, anonymous functions with #(...)
instead of (fn ...). Others are much less justified because I suspect
they are rarely used. For example, #^{...} instead of (meta ...).
So what do others think about this? Should some reader macros be
eliminated for readability sake?
