I actually picked up Clojure because I was:

Tired of having to write C++ to get decent graphics performance.

Tired of having to write C++ to get decent audio performance.

Tired of my cool dynamic web programming languages not being fast enough to do the above.

Tired of Python, Ruby, C++, C, Java, Objective-C, JavaScript having so little to offer in the way of elegant concurrency.

So I picked a Lisp because it could do more.
