The technical influences of language are, theoretically, very small. As far as I can tell anything can be built in anything (evidenced by the remarkable number of great applications written in JavaScript of all languages).
But Clojure is a language that supports [0] that sort of team better than Java or Python (I won't say Rust or Go because it isn't really a first choice for systems programming). The Clojure community also has a cultural expectation that teams will be small and highly skilled, for obvious reasons.
[0] I don't see how this sort of statement could ever be anything other than opinion, so I won't try to justify the assertion.
