Why?

A quick look at Clojure.

I have always found the description of Clojure, unique. Follow the link and you'll see this line from the man himself

I hope you find Clojure's combination of facilities elegant, powerful, practical and fun to use.

This is powerful and inspirational for me. I would love to build something and say that^ about it. I believe developer experience is as important as user experience and Clojure nails it in that aspect. Listening to Rich's talks makes it clear that language is built taking a holistic view of a road-map from idea to code to the user
