See... I work for one of the largest banks in the world and in vicinity of me there is a Clojure project. The guys are trying to figure out how to get rid of it. Original developers left the company or advanced to management roles and now nobody is able to figure out what this convoluted, obfuscated, undefined, unstructured mass of code does or how to modify it so that it doesn't blow up more that it already is.

As much as I love Clojure I see the problem is you need really good (not just intelligent but also wise) developers to reap benefits. Otherwise you can run into huge problems.

"With great power..."

Clojure has so bad rep here that even I think I made a mistake that I let on that I use it for my projects.
