Why Clojure?
> There is no way to know what's being passed around without reading the source of the whole chain.
But that's not what a Clojure dev would do.
1) We use Malli [0] (or similar) to check specs and coerce types if need.
2) If the coercion is difficult, use something like Meander. [1]
3) If even that isn't straightforward, you need actual logic in the loop, use Spectre. [3]
4) If you're not sure what going on at intermediate steps, use FlowStorm [4].
5) But we've got lots of data we haven't seen before! Use, Malli with test.check and make use of property-based testing with generators.
None of this is "advanced" Clojure, this is bread-and-butter stuff I use every day. Need a Notebook-like experience to get better visualization of intermediate data? Use Clerk [4].
Need special checks on API usage within your codebase? Use clj-kondo [5] with custom linters. They're less than 10 lines each.
Unlike default-mutable languages, or typed, it's safe and easy to use libraries with Clojure and they tend to have very little churn. Total opposite from Python or JavaScript (if you're used to that).

Why your F# evangelism isn't working
If you are truly interested in understanding my point of view -- a great way to do it would be to learn how to use this Clojure DSL: https://github.com/redplanetlabs/specter

Advent of Code inside the REPL
Yes :), I needed a fast dijkstra implementation to solve a puzzle in 2021. A pure clojure implementation was too slow so i built one on top of this https://github.com/redplanetlabs/specter
