I've been working with Clojure professionally for the past 6 years and I've had a very positive experience. My team finds that code is actually very maintainable. Two main reasons for this are that Clojure is immutable by default, and it has minimal syntax. Immutability allows projects to be naturally compartmentalized. You can do safely do local reasoning on parts of the project. Meanwhile, simple and consistent syntax means that it's easier to read and understand the code written by others. There are far less language quirks to remember than in most languages. I also find that the editor integration with the REPL is a huge plus as well. Whenever I run into code that I'm not sure about, I can just run it and see what it does.
