A programming language should be first and foremost precise and readable, not concise. I can barely understand the clojure version but when I read the "traditional" one I don't even need to think.

If you work with clojure a lot, does it become natural?

I've worked with clojure for years, and it becomes pretty normal, but I don't think it inherently get's better than the alternative, just on par... although it's realllly nice not to ever have to think about operator precedence, especially if you have to switch between languages.

Where it really shines though is when you use the threading macro and inline comments to make really complex math a breeze to review:

  (-> (+ 34 68 12 9 20) ;; sum all the numbers
      (/ 140)           ;; divide by a quotient for some reason
      (* 2)             ;; multiply by two for it's own reason

Yes, especially because the language is so consistent.

99% of the syntax is just (foo arg1 arg2).

I would say yes, as someone who got used to it a few years ago.
