Readable Clojure

I'd go so far as to advise aggressive use of the threading macros in order to remove visual nesting. It is much easier to read:

    (def good-set-of-stuff
      (->> stuff
           (filter good?)
           (map enrich)
           (into #{}))

than it is to read:

     (def good-set-of-stuff
       (into #{}
             (map enrich
                  (filter good? stuff))))

    (def good-set-of-stuff (into #{} (map enrich (filter good? stuff))))

Without much Clojure experience, I agree. Sequential, what-comes-first, is easier to read than finding the first evaluated expression and peeling backwards just to build the same mental model.
