> how computer's really operate?

I don't know exactly what you mean by this, but Clojure syntax is not really anywhere close to how computers actually process instructions.

Clojure is very nice though.

That's not what they meant. Lisp/Clojure syntax (s-expressions, code-as-data, functions as first-class values) maps closely to the theoretical foundations of computation - lambda calculus, which is arguably the mathematical essence of what computation is.
