At Revelytix, we have a mix of people doing Java, Flex, and Clojure. An older product is written in Java and is being enhanced/maintained. Some new UI work for that product is being done in Flex. And we have several newer products built in Clojure. We have about 7 people working primarily in Clojure, a few more doing Java/Flex, and a few non-devs (ontologists) who are using Groovy for some scripting.
The Clojure codebase has been around for a little over a year and is currently ~20kloc of Clojure (tests make up about half of that). It's really hard to say with any precision but my best guess (from having written similar code in Java) is that we are getting about a 10x reduction in loc vs Java.
