Rapid application technologies, methedologies, or frameworks are not unusual.
I know some wonderfully productive polyglot developers who by their own choice end up at Clojure. It doesn't have to be for everyone.
I wouldn't rule out that Clojure doesn't deserve credit. I wouldn't think it's a good idea to discredit Clojure from not having tried it myself.
I do hope someone with extensive Clojure experience can weigh in on the advantages.
How easy something is a codebase grows is something to really consider.
This product regardless of how it's built is pretty impressive. I'd be open to learning advantages and comparisons without denying it.
