I also get the impression that that F# sits on top of its host VM better than Clojure, although I haven't used Clojure to any great degree. F#'s error messages are actually pretty good, and integrates with .NET so well, you really don't even need to know the existence of C# when using it. I really wish .NET Core came earlier and would have enticed Clojure to stay as a .NET language.

ClojureCLR does support .NET (Core) but there isn't any support by Microsoft and a .NET language really need at least some support by Microsoft, to be viable at all. Clojure work great with JVM, it is very tightly integrated. Similarly ClojureScript and JavaScript, even though that is actually transpiling. With shadow-cljs, it really is quite integrated into the ecosystem.
