Let's say I'm sold on Clojure (I am; I think it's awesome) and I want to convince my boss to convert a crufty Java 7 enterprise app to a better alternative. What is the argument for Clojure compared to, say, Kotlin? How difficult is a complete conversion to Clojure compared to other JVM alternatives. My guess, in terms of ease of transition:

  Java 8 > Kotlin > Scala > Clojure

That's just my impression, especially if you're risk averse and want to make improvements as incrementally as possible. But I could be wrong. Anyone have a good counterexample?
