Reading other Clojure code is weird. I agree that it can be hard to get an eye for other peoples code, but the flip side is that everything is just functions and data. When I decided to go look at ring or compojure it was incredible how simple the code really is. I've looked at plenty of other clojure libraries and I have this revelation every time. Its awesome.

This is in comparison to reading an OO library in a language I'm much more familiar with but where inheritance / mixins mean you have to dig through many files (often not obvious which ones) to understand a piece of code.
