Do you know about the Typed Clojure project? More or less Racket's contract system, for Clojure:

https://github.com/clojure/core.typed

To me, it's one of the great testaments to the power of Lisp that you can bolt on a static type system after the fact.

Yes, but it’s really not the same as first class static typing support. It also doesn’t help when none of the libraries you use have type annotations and when I last looked it was also quite slow.
