Have you learned other Lisp-like languages before? Lisp exists truly in its own realm, syntax wise.

My experience so far is Logo when I was 6 and reading Godel, Escher, Bach, but I was thinking yesterday of investigating Clojure and that's my task for today. I'll check back.

It's fairly easy to put another syntax atop Clojure if you want, though in my experience the net effect is to restrict what Clojure can do, beginning with disallowing macros.

I'm looking forward to embracing its lispiness.
