I'm sure Clojure is very exciting for Clojure fans…but afraid it's utterly inscrutable and unreadable to me.

  Can definitely understand that. I’m a big fan of Ruby myself and I use it quite often, and for sure at first readability of a lisp syntax seemed like a problem. I will just note that at some point I’ve realised that while Clojure can seem to be quite freeform, in fact it has very strict structure, which helps a lot. I suppose that if somewhen you could get into it, you would find a rich toolbox with a lot of heavy lifting done under the hood and a lot of space left for you to think about application design first and foremost, with a fair performance.
