Look at all the commas!

Clojure has been ahead of the curve on these commas, of course. Commas (and semicolons) are considered whitespace. They're available to pretty up your code's presentation however you like. It's like Clojure is committing in advance not to need many syntax characters.



Ahead of the curve? Other Lisps stopped using commas half a century ago.
