I've only just started looking at Clojure and I've been a little leery about the JVM as well (Windows/.Net guy). However, my experience so far has been pretty positive, and it's given me a reason to get more familiar with Emacs.
Additionally, there's a CLR version of Clojure as well [0] and I'm surprised that doesn't pop up very frequently. It seems to have a fairly active community around it as well [1]. I haven't looked into it yet, but I intend to once I'm more familiar with the JVM version.

- didibus 7y agoI feel the CLR version doesn't get as much love, because it doesn't really bring much over the JVM. It's a pretty comparable all around VM, with pretty much the same trade offs and use cases. I think that's part of it. And since the JVM one is always getting features first and has a more active community, there's little reason to try out the CLR one. That said, some do, and the maintainers are active, so I'm sure it works well if you had reason too.
