I actually quitted a job in 2017 because I was so hyped around my discovery of clojure in 2016 and wanted to write some piece of code that was gonna parse some JS code and spit out some other JS code. (I quitted cuz I never got the project done and my manager was like hey man it's been 5 months do you have any updates and I'm like hey I've been rewriting the same thing over and over again while hopping between 5 different editors and 3 different build tools and to be honest all I've done is learning emacs for the past month).
I don't know if things have improved but back then everything felt either a WIP or obsolete. You wanna use lein to build but apparently that's ancient and you really should be using this other build tool that's not fully integrated with any editor other than emacs and hey while you are at it the Clojure team has released their own dependency management tool and you really should be using that instead. By the way who uses intellij when there is VS Code?
Clojure boasts about it's strong Java interop and ability to use the existing Java ecosystem but it has one of the worst intellij integrations, using a 3rd party plugin that is either broken or not working with your build tooling.
Oh did you say you wanna use Gradle or Maven to build your Clojure stuff? You could actually do it, funny guy.
The language is probably the most practical lisp out there, but it also brings all the artificial lisp superiority syndrome with it (and forces you into submitting the rest of your life to emacs in praise of lisp culture).
You think you'll pick it up quickly and be productive but juggling between learning all the build tooling, the language itself, editing lisp and integrating all those 1-man libraries that are scattered all over github, you end up losing weeks if not months on fixing boilerplate.
I would give it another go but now that I think about debugging a Clojure app in runtime and making sense of a reflection-based, dynamic language on top of JVM, I'm like naaah I already have enough stress-induced grey hairs...
Haskell gives me the pure functional kick that I want, and the rest I can deal with in Kotlin or even Java 11.
