Sorry, but don't agree with what you are saying. Clojure is very different from Perl. I would argue Clojure is more readable than Java (when written well). Immutability by default means Clojure code can be read like math equation on a board. Sure, it's tough if you don't put in the effort to learn the notation, but once that barrier is crossed, it's a very usable language.
Also, this notion of code should be readable by everyone (not involved with the project) is bullshit. Learn the notation once, make use of it forever. All that is needed to do to find the grain of the problem, and cut along it (and REPL helps a lot with that). Contrarily, you can write code assuming no background - which leads to Java like code, where everything must be repeated.
Perl is a write-only context-dependent (with side-effects too) language, because Larry Wall thinks computer languages should be like human languages.
