>What I find to be of highest importance is the ability to reason about parts of the application in isolation

This is a huge factor I'd like to emphasize and write about in a follow up post, having worked on many Clojure projects at different companies now... Another Year in Clojure :)

I've maintained some large Clojure codebases I didn't write, and the easy ones shared this quality. The more painful ones were reminiscent of large OOP codebases and honestly I would've preferred they'd been written in Java.
