If you are the type of person that fiddles with Clojure and other functional languages (OCaml? Haskell? Scala?) I'm pretty sure you will change your mind on and off, in different seasons of your career :-) I used to think only languages with good algebraic data types (mostly ML based) where worth my time... but types can really become an straight jacket in large programs and become tedious to use. Clojure code, when reasonably well structured, is not a bad solution for a lot of varied problems, and is beyond great for personal projects! Low ceremony, fast feedback loop, excellent performance, and a huge library of ready made quality libraries.
