I hear you Alan. I'm just a hardware hobbyist, but I've been working on a Clojure library for abstracting away some of the differences between different boards (Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, etc): https://github.com/clj-bots/pin-ctrl. Currently, my best bet for Arduino is to use Firmata, but I would love to be able to provide native compilation targets, since that would open up a whole lot.
I'd love to have you join the group, if only to provide feedback (which given your professional experience would be invaluable). We have a chat here: https://gitter.im/clj-bots/chat. Cheers Chris PS Gave a talk about this at ClojureWest, if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EQMrpZb7-Y. Most of the talk is actually about the automatic chicken coop door I set up, but a good chunk of it is introduction of pin-ctrl and call to arms for hardware developers as well.
