Clojure lets you write code that's much closer to the problem domain, with a lot less boilerplate.
The JVM doesn't automatically mean something has to be bloated. A small Clojure web app will compile to a roughly 30 meg runnable standalone jar. That's pretty light in my book. On top of that, you get excellent performance.
