This is a really well balanced look at Clojure, much more charitable than I would give it. :) I've always considered Clojure's greatest strength to be its JVM integration, and that doesn't really give you anything Scheme (Per Bothner's Kawa) or CL (ABCL) don't. Otherwise Clojure is just weird enough to frustrate me without a compelling must-migrate payoff to the weirdness.

But again, that's just me.




It depends where you're coming from. If it's Python, Ruby or JS you'll feel right at home with Clojure's maps and vectors.
