I've been thinking about trying it, but it wasn't obviously "magical" to me when I last took a look. What makes you say that?
It's just so powerful and versatile. I've been only using it for less than a year, but you can do most things with clojure, and do them good.
GUI, Web backend, frontend, logic programminc, scripting, CLI tools, and so on.
After you get the hang of it and REPL driven development, your productivity keeps getting more.
One thing that makes me really believe in it is how people that are good with it are so productive with it, I would say more that other languages. There are so many great projects built by a small team or solo devs in clojure.
