Hey, I'm currently using Clojure too and I feel the same way! I think the reason it feels more natural is its emphasis on process instead of things. You think of computation as series of transformations, and that makes easy to establish causal relationships among events and thus help reason better about the system. (I think Steve Yegge first complained about Java, that it is a land of nouns) I think the failing of OOP for me is that I never got what an object is! To me, an object always felt like a weird plane in a n-dimensional axes(because an object contains other objects), and it was hard to reason about that. For example, my first (atleast in my latent consciousness) reaction about Abstract classes was, what is it abstract about? If it is abstract about a bunch of things, that are only related because of the flow of code, I guess I wasn't smart enough to crack that effectively.
