Prototype on the JVM but compile to C for production or performance critical tests? Ideally, no refactoring required at all.

I guess it also helps to work with a dialect with more momentum. E.g. its easier to find support, on- and offline.

Since I haven't really used Closure or any other Lisp for more than a tutorial, I might be very wrong, though.

Clojure -> C will very probably be slower than Clojure -> JVM, at least if the compiler is naive.
