I'm not going to list all the ways Kotlin is superior to Clojure for real development but suffice to say the two aren't really comparable when you have a team of programmers with heterogenous backgrounds. However I do want to note that Kotlin having great IDEA integration is not lock-in. You can (and I sometimes do) code Kotlin + gradle with a pretty vanilla vim setup. Clojure has one big advantage and it's also it's biggest weakness. It's a Lisp. I love Lisp's but I would never want to use one in a professional setting.
