Can you please elaborate how doing a project in Python (I have less experience with Java and am not familiar with Go) is less 'painful' than doing it in Clojure?
Every time when I am trying to switch back from Clojure to Python, I expect to find a (maybe slightly more verbose) language with mature infrastructure, extensive documentation and tons of accumulated knowledge on StackOverflow and elsewhere. Every time, I find out that the dependency system is strange at best, there are still a lot of poorly documented libraries where the features I need have not yet made it into the release for several years.
This being reddit, I expected the top voted post to be "I don't recommend using Clojure for more than 2 years, because going even a week without sleep is fatal." I was disappointed.

That said, if your objection is because it's a lisp and lisps are unfamiliar, then that still remains.
