Oh no, I'm saying it's another usecase, not the only one. And yet, it is a pattern I follow quite often in my mixed Clojure/Java projects: Clojure code is much easier to tinker with, take to new directions, rapidly modify and see the results. But once I settle with an approach/algorithm, I rewrite some things to Java for performance, or for easier interop with other Java/Scala teams, or because the imperative mutable code looks much better in Java.

So, you can say that Clojure among everything else is my IDE to write Java code. Is that a bad suit for a language? Depends on your perspective, but I personally am very happy that I have Clojure by my side.
