Among industrially used modern PLs, I have not experienced faster prototyping and fun as with Clojure.
Rust is fun but won't let you build things fast.
Python feels fast to type, but quickly becomes not much fun.
Go neither feels as fun as Rust nor it is as fast to build as Clojure.
Javascript feels like fast to build but gets stupid, forcing you to use Typescript, which removes the fun.
Ruby has its own set of headaches. I tried using it, but I already knew Clojure, so it felt like moving backwards.
Elixir is so much fun but it's not a Lisp (this one's a very personal pet peve)
C#, Java, Lua have too much syntax garbage - it gets annoying. I still can't figure out the best way to format Lua code so it doesn't look so darn ugly. The best Lua formatter is Fennel, I love it.
C++ is for masochists. Haskell is for naive idealists.
F# is for naive idealists who mistakenly paint themselves as pragmatists.
Scala is for pragmatic idealists with masochistic traits.
I won't say nothing about PHP, I don't want to get banned.
