I'm not sure, but if people have problems, as bad as things like hiring programmers who struggle with indenting code, making typos in variable names, write functions hundreds of lines long, can't modularize code, write 3 nested for loops, or write nested if's where '&&' suffices.

Then you are having far bigger problems related to project management, hiring and overall direction in which you are running your team/company.

Clojure as a tool doesn't aim to fix these kind of problems. And it can be argued no tool will fix these problems.

Those are the kind of things that the computer is best suited to. It's better if the programmer's brain is left to other, more challenging tasks.

One wonders what kind of challenging tasks a programmer who can't even indent code, can solve.

By the way indenting code happens to be the most basic of code review checks.

Code indentation has been automated away since like 10 years or ago or maybe even more.

Vim, Emacs, Atom, Sublime Text, Visual Studio, Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans can all auto-indent code for you. Combined with linters they can also automate stylistic checks and coding convention.

I don't know anyone who indents code themselves. The editor/IDE does it for them.

Indenting code is certainly not a code review check. No sane workplace should waste a senior developer's precious time commenting about indentation problems during code reviews. It is a tooling check that is part of CI/CD.

Why waste human time on what can be done by a machine?

In my experience, a compiler would be wasting my time interrupting me with errors that are easily catch later, playing with the clojure REPL.
