Prevalent use of these macros in clojure code is admission to the following facts,

1. Lisp code is hard to read.

2. Lisp based languages do not have "small syntax".

Nothing to do with Lisp code, because otherwise F# wouldn't have a pipe operator.

  f x |> Seq.map g |> Seq.filter h |> Seq.groupBy (fun x -> x.Name)

Is just more explicit and obvious than

  Seq.groupBy (fun x -> x.Name) (Seq.filter h (Seq.map g (f x)))

I don't know much about F# but do you know if language has to be "expanded" to support that pipe operator?

LMFTFY:

(one Lisp code is hard to read for people who don't read lisp code.)

(two Lisp based languages have tree-like structures with a simple syntax)

which would imply

clojure programmers don't know how to read lisp code.

Facts?
