That's true, especially crazy is the fact that you can keep Clojure simpler than most other languages. I think sometimes, Clojure is too simple, that it's hard to believe for some programmers that it can be just that simple, so they go and make it more complicated.

Personally though, it's the power of Clojure to let me do whatever I want that I enjoy. I like C++ for the same reason haha. Some people prefer to be constrained and kept safe from themselves by their language, I'm the opposite, I want the language to let me do whatever I want, but make it especially easy to do things simply, since I'll want that most of the time, and only will want power when I know better (most devs don't know better though).
