For a data analysis/reporting application, I use colt for some matrix processing, joda time for period calculations, jfreechart to generate charts, an adaptation clj-html to create some dynamic html, also now some StringTemplate templates to bring in and manipulate static content and finally all this (as html) gets fed into XhtmlRenderer to emit some beautiful css stylized PDF reports.
Sounds like a mish-mash and it is, but clojure has allowed me to create all the right abstractions, manage the processing flows and build a complex application leveraging many powerful java libraries that would have just been too much effort (for me) to do in plain old java. The other spin-off of this is that using the repl, one is able to really explore the api's of these big libraries dynamically and get to know them much more intimately than when doing static compilation/run cycles as in the past. So, a major benefit for me of learning clojure has also been a substantial increase in my depth of knowledge of the workings of some of the excellent java libraries out there. - Adrian.
