Absolutely happy with my choice of Clojure as a startup (doing data science, analytics, some front-end work).

Biggest wins for us are:

- ClojureScript / figwheel as an awesome front end development combination.

- The combination of functional programming with immutable data structures

- Lisp "magical powers" (macros, interactive REPL etc.)

- Ability to exploit the Java library ecosystem whenever you need it

Biggest downside = Lack of types.
