Hmm.. I would give it a try for a critical app. We have sever apps in Clojure running for months non-stop now without unscheduled down time. Clojure has not been a source of problems, we had more problems with the customer networks and other site specific conditions.
We run redundant components by up to now it's been mostly used to safely upgrade the system while it's running or cope with the bad network conditions mentioned above. However meeting a paper certification is a significant process and has nothing to do with the "readiness" of the language itself. Clojure runs on the JVM (or CLR) it certainly has an impact on the certification. If I remember Sun had some disclaimers about what Java and the JVM should be used for. I would certainly board on a plane with computers running Clojure on properly tuned environments. Of course the wings may still fall apart :)))) Luc P.
