For a realtime application, you are probably going to need to put at
least the core audio components in C/C++.
I personally prefer Python as a general programming language, so for a
project I am working on I have chosen to do it in 2 communicating
processes, with the JACK audio part in C and the rest in Python. This
seems to work pretty well, and could work for Clojure as easily.

I am indeed a software developer, but still a novice in many ways. My
only experience in audio programming was making a synthesizer in
PureData, but I want to be more fluent in C/C++ programming so I can
work on making JACK clients.
Which leads me to my next question: are most JACK applications
written in C/C++? I understand that programming as close to the
hardware as possible is important for performance, but what about
programming in a JVM language (I have Clojure in mind)? How
reasonable is that?
