ShenLanguage <http://shenlanguage.org/> is maybe the closest thing from a fully typed Clojure on the JVM, though it also suffers from poor interop. I'd like to suggest Fantom <http://fantom.org/>. I wish more people used it. It is a functional/oop, actor concurrent, inference typed, static with optional dynamic typing language with good interop that runs on top of the JVM, CLR and JavaScript. It has a lot of similarities with Clojure, like a strong support for data literals such as for maps and lists, looping is mostly done through higher order functions, it has a subset of its own language as a data declaration format, immutable by default, strong concurrency support using actors model, etc. It just needs some love. I find at its core, its got a better offering than Kotlin.
