I've tried Clojure for a while, but it didn't stick. It's probably the whole Lisp specific approach being the reason why Lisp never really took off as a main stream language. I've tried Scala after that and stayed with it since. Besides all the good points, Scala has Typesafe behind it - a solid stack/platform that (to best of my knowledge) Clojure doesn't have.
