I've recently (about two weeks ago) picked up Clojure for use on a side project after getting frustrated with trying to use Haskell for something non-trivial -- not smart enough for Haskell, apparently :D Haven't messed with a LISP language since college but clojure has grown on me considerably. I already like it more than Scala... though I did almost immediately find myself reaching for a monad library (cats seems good so far) :) Haven't felt the need to write my own macros yet, but certainly many of the libraries I'm using (compojure) make heavy use of them. Too bad my day job is all Java, all the time :( My continual requests to use Scala have been shot down over the last couple of years -- "We want something maintainable, where am I going to find Scala devs when you leave?" So obviously Clojure isn't going to fly :)
