Fair enough. Clojure really is a wonderful language. It's sort of a "Javascript: The Good Parts" for Lisp - they kept (and expanded on) that wonderful expressiveness, while doing away with 50 years of dogma that held on to stuff like gen-syms, car, cdr, and singly-linked lists as the one-true-datatype.
It's really not so bad. At least for simple-medium sized projects you can basically ignore the JVM. The leiningen build tool means you never have to tough maven/ivy/ant/etc
