I think syntax is generally a fairly low barrier of entry in the long run
for a language.  Recall that many people complained about Python's
requirement of indentation to denote blocks.  Python superior design for
day-to-day programming basically made the syntactic peculiarity a non-issue.

I think the same will be true for Clojure.
