The purpose of such a DSL isn't to let you write generic clojure faster. The DSL isn't even targetted at traditional programmers. The purpose is to enable training people who have no idea what Clojure or Lisp to get things done that are complicated (or expensive) to design graphical UX for. These people might have some excel experience or maybe a programming class in college, but are mostly reliant on examples and documentation to get things done. Why teach them things like how to create a function when they don't need to know or care? There is a huge usability difference for these people between (fn [age] (> age 18)) and (> age 18).
