I agree with you, but perhaps in my own way. Jumping into an arbitrary Clojure program can be tough, since the data shapes may not be defined anywhere. Hopefully the program uses spec or malli, but even then, unless they annotate every function with the shape it expects, you may be left needing to REPL in and poke around. However, REPLing in to check just a function or two may not be easy if the program requires some setup and doesn't use integrant or similar.
Once Clojure parity is achieved, I'm interested in static typing, pattern matching, value-based errors, and some other opt-in improvements that I think will greatly improve both readability and toolability (i.e. how well tooling can work with the code, based on what it knows of the code). Stay tuned. :)
