Not sure what you mean by nested code, but im just gone assjme something.

One the problems is that you probebly only see the more outthere post about clonure on HN, its selection bias. Most things in clojure are lije in any other FP language.

The reason many people like it is because it brings all the niceness of lisp and FP to a modern production ready VM (JVM).

Other then that the design philosphy of focusing in data and smaller composable languges seams hit a cord with many people. Also I at this point have to mention that the community is quite friendly and the maintainers do a good job at pushing the language foreward.

Also, and this is the reason it pops up on HN, the community does a good job on addopting relativly 'weird' stuff and make it practical like logic programmi g (core.match), reducers, transducers and CPS.
