[borderline trolling, but...] In general, the syntax doesn't matter much. Most programming language discussions focus on the syntax, but in the long term and in larger applications that's not the important part.
From my personal opinion, based on using Clojure for about ten years, and maintaining a SaaS business based on it for the last four: what really matters are many little features taken together. The sequence abstractions and functions, great data structures and their interop, defined serialization for data structures, core.async, transducers, spec — each of those can be picked apart as "nothing profound" by itself. And yet together they form a tool which removes most friction from programming and lets me focus on the problem domain.
