If you're learning Chinese, it'll be much less readable than your native language too. This is simply not an argument at all. Once you get used to it, reading clojure is easy. I'd say it's easier than any other language by far. Not only that, once you've worked with clojure you may wonder why all the other languages even bother with their superfluous syntax. At this point, if I had a choice, I would program mostly in clojure. The unnecessary, superfluous, verbose, and often boilerplate of other languages always makes me question why I would use them, write four times the amount of code, and still not get nearly the experience and software quality clojure can provide. I highly encourage you not to judge a language, and language, before actually learning and using it.
