Could you speak more on the use of macros and bottom-up programming as well as REPL-driven development at Walmart Labs (if applicable)? Would be interested to know if those lisp-like attributes play as important a role as functional programming and the JVM in general.

Not OP, but at my work, they definitely play a large role. A lot of the productivity boost comes from REPL driven development and Macros.

That said, Clojure has to be seen as the sum of its parts. It's the coming together of Lisp, FP and the JVM which truly gives it its strengths.
