I think it's market effects and nothing else. Schools teach first and foremost the skills that are easily employable. Hence why most schools teach either Java or JavaScript these days. Whether or not something is nice to read (btw, what does this even mean? Your lack of experience is not an indication of how "easy to read" something is) has pretty much nothing to do with it. I hope this is not the attitude you teach children with, because if you think something you do not understand is by default ugly, you have bigger problems than my small blog post.

I also do not write my blog for children to read. In fact, I don't even have a target audience - it's all "I had a problem and this is how I solved it", and perhap some Clojurian finds my posts on Google and finds it interesting. I certainly know there are Lisp-likers here on HN, as well.
