What's wrong with Clojure syntax?

Short post, not a lot of value.

I keep reading things about Clojure's syntax being ugly. I don't think that's the case at all. It's extremely consistent and easy to follow. Maybe I'm just weird, but I've always preferred Tcl for short scripts because I like the syntax. Sometimes the critics of Clojure/Lisp syntax are even Java programmers!

It would be difficult to criticize the syntax, because there is hardly any. I'd rather say there is too little syntax. Many need visual cues like keywords and separators to quickly read code, that is often missing in lisp code.

Argh. Started a comment and it got too big. Posted my thoughts here:
A little syntax is nice

If we evaluate the term the phrase appreciate, not just in relations to a close marriage with a different, however , to be a emotion that is definitely engendered when you've got miltchmonkey an even better marriage with yourself far too - or even as the sense of greater oneness with your loved ones or perhaps human beings : the idea becomes more extraordinary that most any individual is seeking in daily life can be really like.
