>I don't get why you use other delimiters for your Clojure code

Do other delimiters mean the same thing as in Clojure tho ? I only know Clojure - in Clojure [] - vector- is a different data structure from () - linked list - which is different from {} - hash map. Is this similar to Racket or is it all just lists in Racket ?

In Racket all kinds of parenthesis are equivalent, using one or the other is a matter of convention and readability.

I think the newest Scheme standard takes the same approach.
