This has been my experience as well. It allows you to write extremely dense code, without type checks to help you out. And it imposes a functional paradigm, again without type checks to help you out. And it makes new developers think in ways they're not used to, again without type checks to help them out. So the combination of these makes certain that some way or other, teams will write contorted code that is in major need of refactoring ... without type checks to help them out. I switched to F# and "get" FP much better now. I'd know what I was doing if I ever switched back to Clojure. But I have no good reason to personally, and all the aforementioned reasons not to professionally.
