My experience was similar. I've built far more impactful things since then, but at the end of the day, the software that I'm most proud of was a calculator, of all things, that I made in Clojurescript. It was loosely based on the final chapter of SICP, and implemented an hilariously metacircular approach to transitioning the state of the register machine. Since the implementation was way more interesting than the actual application, I used Processing to visualize the register machine as if it were a rudimentary ALU (which it basically was).

If it hadn't been for Rich Hickey, or Clojure, I'm not sure I'd have the slightest inkling of how joyful and creative it can be to write software. It was an A+ experience, even if I'd be swiftly fired for trying to push logic like that into production.

I pushed another build of a Clojure service into production a few minutes ago. There are companies that use it as a primary language you know :)

Second that and just to add, working fulltime with Clojure, apart from all the features and practical aspect is, really enjoyable.
