The syntax actually enticed me to play with lisp, and I do like it a lot, but I never found strong reason to prefer using, say, Common Lisp over a more mainstream language/framework stack. I'm just starting to dig into Clojure and I think the combination of lisp syntax and strong support for, and encouragement towards, immutable data really brings a lot to the table in both reason-ability and efficiency.
