It'll take a while but now other programming languages look alien to me. Once you've adopted s-expressions it is hard to go back.

It took about two weeks for me to be able to read it.
Might as well have been Russian.
Now it's as natural as any other language.
You get over it really quickly once you start actually using it. I find it basically impossible to read Clojure outside the editor in any meaningful sense.
