I can't speak for others, but I'm far more productive in Clojure. I'm able to write less code in less time, without any loss in correctness. My productivity comparison is in relation to Java and Python, which is mainly what I use at work.
I completely agree. No other language felt more productive to me as Clojure and I have used many. Today, when I have a problem to solve and I'm not even allowed to use Clojure (say for an interview challenge) I still first write it in Clojure and then by hand, line-by-line translate it to the required language. Even though it may seem like twice the work, I swear - it is faster that way.
