No, I think Clojure is a lot simpler than C. As for C++, I was on the
standards committee for
One thing that you might be missing is the expressive power of the sequence
handling functions (everything under sequences here:
http://clojure.org/cheatsheet ). I found it very useful to follow a few
other users in 4clojure [1] which allowed me to compare different styles in
their solutions
It's not just you. I'm also surprised at the amount of syntax and the
number of ways of doing some things. I suspect that if you come from java
or C++ it seems like a simple language, but it feels pretty cluttered
compared to other languages. The '-' macro, for example. I've learned to
read

Interesting observation and probably true. Although I did Lisp back at
university

about 200 pages. I expect you mean C++, Java, etc. Not meaning to start a
language war, but my own experiences with C++ and Java have mostly
convinced me that the added complexity in those languages don't lead to
better
I do hope this is an appropriate topic.
I am very excited by the power and capability in clojure and amazed at the
rapid quality of tooling that exists so early in the projects life.
I would like to admit that i am feeling like the simplicity and elegance
that I experienced writing in lisp
Hi
I don't know about style guides, but I can recommend to look to 2
books: The Joy of Clojure Clojure Programming - they provide a lot
of interesting information, including tips on writing idiomatic
Clojure code
