I haven't had much experience with game development in Clojure myself, although one of the first real projects I made with Clojure was a simple Tetris clone. Having done a Tetris clone in C++ some years earlier, I was -shocked- at how easy it was in Clojure to model the game in an easy-to-understand, easy-to-process way. Have been hoping to take the time to do something a little more involved, but that'll have to wait - you make sure to share your experiences if you go any further, though!
