What if Clojure is a language that bodes well especially early in a project’s lifecycle?

I think it’s very difficult to motivate going out of your way to hire decent devs that know clojure and java only to throw away the clojure some time down the road.

Begs the question, why not just write it in Java? Then at least its more likely to be a refactor down the road rather than a rewrite.

I think clojure ought to be a production ready language that scales well. That’s what it was designed to be. However lisp seems to dichotomise devs into those that get it and those that don’t and thus alienates many would be team members.
