I've started using clojure.spec[0] in my regular day programming with an eye on using generative testing, which I understand is a form of fuzzing. I'm very new to this, but it feels incredibly practical in terms of bang for buck - like the 'cutting edge' of practical use. I'm not sure what it's academic background is, but I'd highly recommend reading and listening to what Rich Hickey has to say about it. He's a smart guy.

I'll definitely second this one, I'm still getting comfortable with Clojure Spec and the hooks into test.check (it's brand new, and I'm unfortunately no longer doing Clojure for my day job) but it's already great and I'm only at the beginner/intermediate stage.
