I would like to throw in Erlang and or Elixir with this. Not as stable as Clojure in the case of Elixir of course (or even just the BEAM environment tbh, certainly not as popular as JVM), but it's possible OP has already done the traditional functional programming thing. This is absolutely not a criticism of Clojure or your recommendation. I'm a huge fan of Clojure, but I don't know where OP is coming from/if they've done a LISP before. I don't know why but whenever I get depressed of bureaucracy at work I turn to functional programming in my spare time.

I'd go out on a limb and say that it's one of the most battle tested VM's there is.
