Discussion on: Java may be verbose, but who cares?

Hi Eric,

Very interesting your thoughts about paren density and meanful syntax. Clojure's use of vectors help a lot on both.

I have given up on the parens discussion, as I have been on the other side of the fence and no amount of reasoning would convince me.

Nowadays I just brush the discussion aside with "you will get over it and you will love it. What other concerns do you have with Clojure?"

Plenty of times the discussion ends there, and one less convert for the Church of Lisp.

Thanks a lot for the comments!

Dan
