We can debate this forever, but all I can say is that at my work we have equal part Java and Clojure, and we have some Kotlin and sole Scala as well. Out of all of them, Clojure does not cause us anymore issues, it doesn't take us any longer to add features, it doesn't perform any worse, and it doesn't have any more defects than the others.

My conclusion is that it's a matter of personal preference honestly. Those are all really good languages. Personally I have more fun and enjoy using Clojure more. I would say I tend to find I'm more productive in it, but I believe that's more a result of me finding using it more enjoyable then anything else.
