Oh, it's this thread again. Please read
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/clojure/TB4i3ATmrEE/discussion before
discussing further.
TLDR: If you want to demonstrate the merits of significant white space for
clojure, please implement a reader with the alternative rules you envision.
Right now, the community seems to sway towards sticking with s-expressions.
Personally: The sentiment on readable.sourceforge.net ("... a language that
makes source code ugly is maddening to an exacting programmer ...") doesn't
convince me, since find clojure code neither ugly nor maddening, while I do
consider myself exacting. Also the small example,
*literally*contrasting "(Awkward) S-expression" with "(Improved)
Sweet-expression"
doesn't lend much credibility.
Another problem: Curly braces as syntax are already taken in clojure. I
haven't watched the video yet, but will do so later.
