Yeap, I also like the idea behind Transducers and I hope seeing it in other languages as well. As I said, Clojure has some really sweet things in it, which is why I keep tinkering with it as well, because I want this exposure.
For example I like how Clojure people are doing what they call "light-weight data modeling". In Scala and Haskell we get too focused on types, sometimes we go overboard, forgetting that the data should stay reasonably decoupled from short-term business needs.
So there's something really refreshing about Clojure's approach (which is in general LISP's approach to doing stuff). On the other hand I really like having a potent compiler that can help me deal with accidental complexity, which is why people will never agree on which is better, because it depends a lot on context (i.e. the kind of problems you're working on).
