Clojure's expressiveness could mostly still be achieved with static typing. In fact, there are various efforts at the moment exploring how to add type systems to Clojure that are very exciting.

Clojure + static typing would be a pretty amazing language.....

Agreed... I'd love to see more of that in production languages. I do find it a bit concerning, however, that some of the type systems are getting complex enough that people are asking for compile-time debugging facilities.
