The s-expressions in lisps and clojure are one of my favorite attractions. There's so much less cognitive load when the syntax is so simple. Elixir, another great language, has a painfully complicated syntax (plus a lot of syntactic sugar and cases of there's more than one way to do something).

Clojure is a bit noisier than lisp in terms of syntax, but it's also more expressive. I find the balance and design choices pretty reasonable.
