I agree that there's value to making math expressions look like the way they are written in actual math -- it is much easier to tell at a glance that you've entered the correct formula. I think your maya library is a nice contribution. (I think Incanter has a similar macro, but it is nice to have it in a lightweight standalone library. https://github.com/joyofclojure/unfix is another one, I haven't figured out exactly how they all compare. It's not obvious to me from your documentation -- does maya automatically handle operator precedence?).
My point is mainly that people who read and write Clojure are used to using infix notation, so for that particular audience, it should be no big deal to read the infix math unless the expression is particularly complex. Specifically, I don't think that reordering math with -> gains you any readability. But I'm all for judicious use of infix DSLs.
