This jibes with my experience - After doing 10 years of Java, a year with Clojure seems like heaven. I actually have brain space now to think about the problem than the mechanical details of the solution. In fact btw terseness, simplicity and immutability I stopped caring about the language for the most part and am able to concentrate on the problem at hand.
