A few things might help: * Judging by you examples, I looks like you're still getting used to the lisp style of coding. Everything is a chained function call. Write your code to support with that in mind. * Practice using comp & partial. Write a few small apps where you NEVER use a let form. * Practice using ->. Try to write a few other other apps only using this. * Master the editor you're using. Emacs has great tab support, and will help you arrange your code accordingly. I'm sure Vim does something similar. Enclojure has a netbeansy "Format my code" option from the popup menu.
