It took me a minute to realize that you're talking about code formatting on HN, and it has nothing to do with Clojure. I was like: "What formatting are they talking about? It's darn Lisp - there's no 'formatting gripes' here..." The only thing Clojure devs have to agree on - to align or to indent, and that's all the formatting rules and conventions you need to know about. Inexperienced newbies say: "Lisp is hard to read", which I think is completely overblown and in fact is the opposite - Lisp is so nicely readable, that even on a narrow screen of a phone it remains readable - the code simply wraps around - a trick Python and Haskell programmers especially hate.
