I've been programming in Lisps on and off since the mid 80's, and I like Clojure the language, but in recent times as mostly as .Net programmer, I find the JVM and the surrounding Clojure tooling rather baroque. I find tutorials often cover Clojure/Lisp basics, but assume that you're coming from the Java world, so I had some difficulty getting what I consider basic workflows working as expected. If homoiconicity/macros/eval isn't an issue, I'm happy with F#/C# for the most part, but wouldn't mind having Clojure in the toolchest as well, but I'm not sure of the state and maintenance of Clojure.net.

You also have ClojureCLJ, although the tooling and libraries around aren't as nice as on the JVM (many libraries and even clojure.core functions directly interoperate with Java).
