Clojure makes certain language sacrifices to ensure great integration with its host platforms.

Easy access to the tens of thousands of person years worth of effort put into the Java/JavaScript ecosystems in return for dealing with a bit of ugliness is a win in my books.

It's a loss in my books. I like Clojure but pretty much the only thing that's been putting me off is how the JVM "shines" through in lots of aspects.
