We recently evaluated Clojure vs node for an upcoming project and went with Clojure because while most of the work really is just querying a db and writing JSON, we also do a fair amount of heavy reporting and pdf generation which will bring node to a crawl relatively speaking. Rather than have to take on the operational complexity of microservices for the slower parts of our app we just went with a Clojure monolith. The draw of a single language to work with for both client and server was very tempting, but ultimately the JVM won out on the server.
I'd be amiss if I didn't also say the whole Deno situation has us worried about the long-term implications of spinning up a brand new node project, where the JVM seems far more reliable logistically.
