Really nice insight, thank you! Clojure has always been a bit of a mystery to me, so this is interesting to read.
- REPL ergonomics, where every action I could think of makes sense as a REPL command, leading to very small incremental pieces.
This is the only point I would dispute. The GHC interpreter `ghci` is very powerful and offers a lot of the same upsides. Beyond this, the language server offers in-code evaluation with "-- >>> expression" syntax, which is a cool new step towards fast looping UX. Clojure is certainly great at this, but I'd say Haskell is not far behind.
