If you want proper static typing though, ReasonML might be a good choice. Static, compiles to js and native, super easy to learn, and there’s an experimental Lisp frontend with Clojure-like syntax if you can’t live without paredit.

With Ghostwheel you write your function specs similar to how you'd write a type signature and you get automatic generative testing (including higher order function support) and side effect detection which – when combined with spec instrumentation (+ the upcoming evaluation tracing for the test execution) – can often tell you quite precisely where you screwed up in a much more immediate and granular manner than a simple unit test or mucking about in the REPL could. It really is a quite different experience from plain Clojure.
That being said, I'd love types in addition to this and I'm keeping a keen eye on ReasonML.
