I don't feel bad about getting down voted. But one could at least raise a counter point. In all honesty, this syntax is very ugly isn't it?

It reminds me of the JESS rule engine. Same kind of principle.

You're getting downloaded because your post was highly subjective (ugly? Looks like good-old Scheme to me, son), childish (threw up in your mouth? Really? Because you use ULTRA LEET $LANGUAGE instead?) and added precisely 0 value to the discussion.

If no one raises a counter point, maybe the downvotes are not really about disagreeing with the point you made? Maybe it's more like, people don't like your tone, or they don't think that fun post about fun with AR drones is the time and place for dealing with the issue of Clojure syntax and aesthetics.

You raise a valid point. My opinion belonged more in a Clojure based thread.

The downvotes mean that your opinion is valued, but the way you present your opinion can be improved.
