Clojure is my favourite language to work in, although I only had the opportunity to use it professionally for 6 months. It gives me an overwhelming feeling of quality, forethought, and careful design. So does most of its surrounding ecosystem. I feel a similar way about Python too though. The hype probably comes mostly from good concurrency tools + immutable data structures, but at least partly it comes from people who really enjoy working in it.
