I find Clojure to be one of the most scannable languages. The s-expression syntax gives you a visual representation of the relations between different pieces of code. When you see one expression nested inside another, you know they're related. You can tell what branching and relations are there by a quickly scanning the code and looking at the indentation. Having a bit more syntax than traditional Lisps helps break the code up visually as well. For example, things like bindings jump out immediately.
