Eh I dunno. Clojure comes closer than any other programming language to being like spoken language in that there are tons of different tenses and conjugations and a large, expressive vocabulary to articulate precisely what you mean. Like when writing in English - decide who your audience is and then use the vernacular they know to the full extent. In any serious project, that pretty much means you get to assume at least that they are fluent in clojure, before adding in other DSLs like funcool/cats (category theory) if your problem domain needs it. If your audience needs guard rails, Clojure is probably not the language for you for other reasons, for example the culture of "just read the source" (which is a great thing i think!). Just my 2c as someone who has written clojure full time for a couple years. Tonsky has probably written more Clojure than I have.
