Clojure may be a new Lisp, but it seems the die hard holier-than-thou attitude of old-school Lipsers is alive and well. Look, there's a reason nobody uses Lisp. And the attitude of "we know best and if you can't see that you're an idiot" is certainly part of it. A prospective Clojure developer "must" not do anything. They will probably take one look at Clojure's seemingly user-hostile syntax, read how unless they immediately embrace parens that they are *not welcome*, click their browser back button and never give another thought to Clojure again.
