Before long Clojure will have as much ugly, arcane syntax as Scala. (I say that mostly tongue in cheek, btw). For me, a lot of the attractiveness of Lisp languages is the minimal syntax that they have. I'm not a fan of adding more to Clojure than is already there. I'm just one voice and a very new one to Clojure, so I doubt my opinion will sway anyone else. I do love Clojure and hope to be able to use it more in the future, but I'll probably stick to the very basic syntax and forgo all this fancy sugar.
