Can fully agree that Clojure(Script) really is a blessing and a great choice for many projects smallish or big. Frankly, Clojure is the first language I did professional programming in, with a little bit of experience in C, Python, PowerShell, Java, Bash, SQL before to solve university assignments or to help with systems administration/ some analytics of traffic dumps etc.
We program OrgPad in Clojure+ClojureScript and it was a good decision, even as we have more than 100kloc of code. It is approachable and if I write a bit of code, I am fairly certain that it will do what I imagine. I didn't have that to that degree not even in Python, PowerShell or Bash, it is a completely different league, quite possibly game.
The REPL workflow is really nice, my colleague did a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4igO7Qbyj9o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4igO7Qbyj9o
Nowadays, even some functions/ short tasks or small projects can be served by Babashka/ nbb in places where you would often consider switching from Bash to Python.
