That's certainly true. While Clojure isn't exactly my favorite Lisp (it isn't even a LISP, as in a LISt Processing language any more, and is rough around the edges in various places), running on the JVM ecosystem makes it a great choice for many things (well, aside from logging, standard JVM logging is "sacrifice a chicken" territory, but there are native solutions now as well). Want to us a RDBMS? There are many libraries for doing that, my favorite is Korma, and they all use the JDBC interface and battle tested JDBC implementations, that part of the plumbing is trivial. Etc.
