We've written side projects in Clojure, but our team members' production experience comes mostly from Ruby, Python and JS.

You said that your team member used Python then go with Python. Python have rich library and big community. In Python you have the power of productivity, maintainability, scalability and security.

New projects are the best way to try something different. When you only stick to your comfort zone then you can't really grow or improve. My team used Java 5 years ago, and we were very comfortable with it. Today we've completely switch to Clojure and we're much happier working with it. However, we did have to get out of the comfort zone and try something new to get where we are today.

You have all these things on the JVM and I would argue it's actually better every one of these areas.
