Your comment gives the impression that Clojure is a big multiparadigm mess. But it is not. Clojure's design is clean and simple. Clojure is mostly functional. Sure, since it's a Lisp one can kind of incorporate other paradigms with macros. But out of the box Clojure does not do Java-style OOP (except for interop) or Prolog-style logic.

Perhaps it does place oriented OOP poorly, but it actually has an extremely nice logic engine (see core.logic).

Yeah, I know about it, but it's an additional dependency, right? [org.clojure/core.logic "0.7.5"] Whatever, Clojure is clean and simple is what I wanted to say. :)
