I agree with this sentiment. The one thing I liked about Clojure was the simplicity of the syntax, as long as you kept away from writing macros.

In general, after so many decades programming, I've come to dislike languages with optional periods (a.foo) and optional parenthesis for function calls - little gain to a confusion of precedence, what's a field vs method. Seems that the whole DSL craze of 15 years ago was a mistake after all.

Having said all that, I think haskell is awesome, in the original sense of the word. I became a better programmer after working with it for a bit.
