The sibling response from fulafel is definitely the central argument. I would also add that Clojure has excellent production-quality "interop" with all of its host languages, such that end-to-end ergonomics are relatively painless e.g. CLJS<->JS<->Graal Polyglot<->Java<->Clojure There was briefly (now deleted) a response to fulafel's comment which essentially pointed out how JavaScript itself should be considered a production-quality language that is up to the task. After all, JavaScript can also now be used to build JVM applications thanks to GraalJS ...except I wouldn't bet on that technology direction gaining much traction at this point in time (unless maybe Oracle has a trick up its sleeve).
