Yes, and a lot of that can also be traced back to the built-in macros that Clojure provides and encourages. Macros like apply, ->, ->>, partial, memoize, and even . just make it so much rarer that a developer needs to write a macro outside of DSL development. It's wonderful.

Could someone who downvoted this post please offer feedback? I do not understand why this comment did not contribute to the discussion.
I didn't downvote but as someone who uses Python and doesn't know Clojure, phrases like "Macros like apply, ->, ->>, partial, memoize, and even . just make it so much rarer that a developer needs to write a macro" make me glad I don't have to muck about with that stuff.(?)
