is anyone putting Clojure to good use? i've been reading about it for a while, but still can't find a practical use for it. i know .Net framework in and out, and it just makes everything so easy.. not sure what Clojure could offer me at this stage, even though i love its notation (the little that i know so far).

The truth is, if you're a .NET programmer, you're going to find Clojure slightly painful because you're switching ecosystems. Using it for work will encounter the same problem and ClojureCLR is a second class citizen.

That's not to say it isn't great and useful, it is. I'm noticing a couple of trends in Clojure development: big data and esoteric. Take a look at Storm (twitter's data processing engine) and Overtone.
