The section "Building first version" in the Storm author's blog post "History of Apache Storm and lessons learned" mentioned the "productive" as the reason of the key decision that time.http://nathanmarz.com/blog/history-of-apache-storm-and-lessons-learned.html The "Structure of the Codebase" doc page gave more hints that Clojure is more "expressive" to cut the lines of code into about half comparing to Java for implementation.http://storm.apache.org/documentation/Structure-of-the-codebase.html So I feel that these could be one of the reasons.

I think the main reason storm was written in clojure is that the author was excited about using closure at the time. I don’t think there was a technical reason really, more a matter of taste. I could be wrong though.
