Yes, you are suddenly writing java with parentheses.

Don't get me wrong, Clojure is a great language in itself, but the lack of libs make you spent 90% of your time writing interop, you start to ask yourself if it's worth the trouble.

I actually find Clojure's `doto` notation to be the cleanest way to interact pure Java. It's like an improved syntax for Java that's native in Clojure.
