As a Python programmer, I agree with most of your assessment. Most Pythonistas I know have chosen Haskell as their primary functional language (and Haskell is the PL I'm constantly working on mastering). But this clojure-py project is very interesting to me. I've heard so many positive things about Clojure and Lisp in general. I've been wanting to explore Clojure, but I've been holding off because I knew I would need to become more familiar with the Java infrastructure to learn Clojure well, and learning the JVM is one challenge I just don't feel like tackling at this point in my life. On the other hand, I love PyPy, and I've been fascinated by the progress in performance the PyPy team has been making. I'm even hoping to eventually implement a version of CoffeeScript on PyPy. Given my Python background and interest in PyPy, Clojure now seems much more approachable thanks to this implementation. I'll probably wait until it's a little more mature, but I look forward to trying clojure-py out!
