I have come to appreciate static types for browser programming(UI development) and won't go back to a dynamic language in that area by choice. For server side stuff, like a HTTP API, Clojure really shines IMO. But then you hit the database layer and the benefits of Clojure diminished greatly, compared to just doing the thing in JS. You could extend Clojure's "programming model" to the database with Datomic, but choosing it is not decision to take slightly(for various reasons), it also has many production horror stories.

Clojure has good foundations but the ecosystem just isn't there.
