I'm starting to get into Clojure from Python as well. Thanks for this link.
I like how Flightcaster separates their webfrontend tech with the mapreduce backend. So I probably won't make a full switch. Wonder how many other pythonistas are doing the same.
I made the switch from Python to Clojure last October and I'm loving every minute of coding in Clojure. It feels like just the right mix between Python and Lisp.

I'd have to second that. As Peter Norvig once said, Python is Lisp in snake skin (something like that I think), so it would make sense why it is somewhat of a comfortable move. I personally still use both.
Oh, don't get me wrong - I still like Python very much and its unlikely I'll stop using it completely any time soon. Its still useful for a lot of tasks, though most of my heavy programming tasks are being transitioned to Clojure. I personally love functional programming, so it was a pretty natural progression for me.
