Martin, you're trying to argue that some hypothetical 'unwashed masses' of programmers won't like clojure because of parenthesis. The problem is you're just assuming it's the parenthesis, and there is no way to know for sure (short of a peer-reviewed study). Maybe java programmers don't know about clojure because they're corporate drones and couldn't care less. Maybe they're not allowed to use clojure at work. Maybe (as others have said) clojure is just more mental work per-line and that turns people away.
If you look at the group's history, I think you'll find the clojure community is more than willing to work with people who have a genuine problem. However, if you come in here with unsubstantiated claims and demand a major language change, you'll need to provide more proof that there is an actual problem first. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
