I think individual developers are most likely to become much, much more productive when using Clojure/Lisp vs. Java, C#, and the like, but software development teams are unlikely to experience the same benefits.
And it's not even because Clojure is bad for teams, it's because teams often form because there are nontechnical stakeholders, and suddenly an individual contributor's code-writing productivity is a much smaller factor when compared to the communication practices and other parts of the development process outside of writing code.
