"The code for that project has run for years without modification or error."

To follow up on this point, if you ever need ammunition to sell the use of Clojure inside an enterprise level organization, just show your Chief Architect the graphs of code stability over time for Clojure (pg. 71:26) and ClojureScript (pg. 71:30).
