I can't think of a better language to complement Clojure than OCaml. It hits all of Clojure's weak points dead-on, and its own weak points are covered really well by Clojure. In terms of "general purpose", I think of Clojure as being a better choice for long-running server processes and OCaml as being a better fit for code you run on your own machine or programs that don't stay running forever, due to the varying memory/performance/concurrency characteristics of their respective runtimes. I wrote in more detail about my experiences coming from Clojure to OCaml here: http://technomancy.us/170 http://technomancy.us/170 I found it very easy to pick up with some FP background. Not having to think about nil in particular was a huge breath of air after Clojure. I also had good luck accepting contributions from others with a Clojure background who wanted to make some changes to my code and learned OCaml just for that.
