I'd say that Clojure is probably suited for anything that the JVM is suited for. Its Lisp nature makes it much more flexible than "ordinary" languages, and there seem to be few limits to what it can do with the JVM, considering that it is even possible to generate low- level maths primitives. As for what JVM languages are not good for in general, there is the obvious domain of systems-level programming, and there are other domains such as number crunching, where there is a severe lack of good libraries in the Java world. Real-time programming tasks may also be difficult, considering that garbage collection can introduce a delay at any time, but I am not really competent to talk about this.
