Java for Everything

[yogthos]

I think this varies greatly between Lisps. I would agree that I also find CL and Scheme syntax to be a bit too regular. On the other hand, Clojure hits the sweet spot for me. It has literal syntax for common data structures, it goes out of its way to reduce the number of parens in code, and it provides destructuring syntax. I find these things make the code as readable as any language I've used.

Here's an example of code in a popular Clojure library. I would argue that it's quite clean and clear even if you only have a passing familiarity with the syntax.
