Clojure's data structure design & concurrency model is particularly great, and the host interop opens up options for pragmatic development.

Macros are less ergonomic than other lisps.

I am just sad core.async is just the same old CSP.

I want to scream every time I have to implement nacks in CSP. It has to be domain specific every time, since there are no first class events.

I do agree that clojure gets a lot right (like an actually well integrated STM layer), the choice to go with CSP seems like a missed opportunity.
