What about Clojure seems dense or implicit to you? Clojure and Python have a similar feel to me. Both are well-designed in the sense they strive for a small set of primitives useful in solving a broad range of problems.
See my reply to your sibling. I appreciate it may be very well designed; just saying there's a barrier for a novice to read it (which is fine, but different from Python). Even if you come from a different background (JS, C#), it's trivial to understand Python code because it reads like English. Both Clojure and Ruby are different because they're more dense (but as a result, probably more expressive). And I'm saying this as someone who doesn't really enjoy Python because it's way too sparse. Oh well, whatever :-). I should go learn some Clojure.
