You should have parenthesized yourself.

Reminds me of an old joke:

CEO: Someone stole the last 50 megabytes of our main product's source code

Programmer: The last megabytes you say? No worries, it's written in Lisp.

The thread macro is really a treat and allows for more expressive functional piping of data. A lot like dot chaining in your python/scala/rubys or cascading in Javascript - get a lot done with minimal boilerplate

Clojure even has a .. macro which makes dot chaining even more readable - the resulting code has less dots and less parenthesis than the equivalent java/python/ruby/scala code!
