I understand why it does it that way; I've written programs in Clojure and quite like it (with math expressions I've been using "let" a lot to break them up and make them more readable, but this also makes them a lot more verbose). But contrary to the GP, I still see prefix math as a cost, not a benefit.

edit: I love Clojure's literals but I still think even with editor help, nested parens are a less readable form of structure than c-style blocks. I understand why it's done that way (uniformity for macros), but that doesn't mean I have to like it in and of itself.
