How is Clojure for DevOps work?


I've always liked Lisps, and I have a good friend in there who is (a) all Lisp all the time and (b) recently moved to DevOps. His move has me pondering whether there's some unknown strength Clojure has in the DevOps arena that I don't know about as an outsider to the JVM ecosystem.

I would think the JVM requirement makes it a non-starter. But I could have it all wrong -- when it comes to "devops" no amount of unnecessary complexity and dependencies seem too much for some people.

I use Go and bash scripting.
