> It only feels that way, until you learn how destructuring works in Clojure

Well... yes. The original comment was about how Clojure code looks very foreign. The reply to that was that Lisp code is not actually that foreign because it's just taking the common foo(bar baz) and making it (foo bar baz). My comment was that Clojure is more foreign to most programmers than other Lisps, because it's not simply mapping foo(bar baz) to (foo bar baz).

Of course when you learn the things that make it unique, it becomes familiar.
