Interesting observation and probably true. Although I did Lisp back at
university (in the early/mid-80's), most of my career has been in C-family
languages so, yes, Clojure feels like a VERY simple language with almost no
syntax. Having recently read more Scheme / CL code, I can see how folks
coming from those languages think Clojure is cluttered. But it's SO much
simpler than the C-languages that it must surely be only a little more
cluttered than Scheme / CL? Do the differences really seem that big?
Genuine question, since I've been immersed in C-languages for so long...
