I'm using clojure for various computational physics tasks:
1. I'm writing a dsl for substructure searching.
2. I'm doing classical molecular dynamics / structure optimization.
Substructures can be included, for coarse grain md.
3. All the parameter fitting codes suck, so I wrote one that works for
atoms and/or coarse grain points.
4. Soon, I will extend my substructure searching into a full-fledged
structure database.

I haven't ran into any performance problems yet.  If I do, there are
some places where I can replace dumb algorithms with better
algorithms.  I will gladly trade the minor low-level inefficiencies of
clojure, for the ability to easily try out high-level, possibly domain
and/or data specific optimizations.  Clojure rocks!
