At Akamai we are using Clojure combined with Compojure for a project that involves the live transcoding of mobile content. I can't talk about the details, nor mention any specific libraries or features we are using, except to say that we chose Clojure for the normal reasons: its meta-programming and concurrency features. We are very happy with our decision to use Clojure.
