For me, Clojure is the most satisfying language to write in. The design of the language feels impeccable most of the time. Working in the repl, with all of your application code loaded into the runtime, sitting in an adjacent terminal or editor tab, is immensely satisfying, much like the experience of a craftsman working with hand tools. Unfortunately, I find Clojure code to suffer in terms of readability, and I think it suffers from the same problem all dynamic languages suffer from, they just don't scale to larger applications and teams as well as static languages do. Proof of this is the fact that pretty much every dynamic language out there eventually looks to graft something like a static type system on after the fact. Basically I think people advocating Clojure outside the context of small, high ability teams are (mistakenly imho) prioritizing write mode over read mode.
