For me it's mostly a quality of life issue. I find Clojure workflow is far more pleasant than most languages because it's interactive, and I like Clojure as a language because it's small and focused. I find the main feature of Clojure lies in its simplicity as opposed to advanced features. Clojure code tends to be very direct where you're just passing data through a series of transformations, and you apply a few common patterns to solve a wide range of problems.
