I love Clojure and have happily been using it in production for 2+ years.
Maybe I'm just used to the error messages, but I'm surprised "finding libraries" wasn't a higher-rated pain point. In many languages (at least in the web dev world) if you find a library that hasn't had commits in a few years, you can safely assume it's out of date. Not so with Clojure, and while this is due to two Good Things -- the stability of the language and the general avoidance of do-everything libs/frameworks -- it still makes it a bit hard to evaluate whether it's a good idea to rely on a given open source library. And good luck sorting through all the ring-<whatever> middleware to find the right one or right mix for you.
That said, I wouldn't go back to non-Clojure tools (for me that's Rails & JS) for most of my use cases (still awaiting a bit of maturation of the react-native wrappers for doing mobile apps. It's possible the benefits already outweigh the compilation/reload time cost, though).
