I'm pretty new to Clojure, but one of the things that I'm starting to pick up on is the ridiculous speed with which the language can evolve. It seems that in non-Lisp languages, features like this would have to start as compiler extensions and would only move into the mainstream via the molasses-slow process of maybe being included in the mainline compiler. With Clojure, the language can iterate as fast as any library. Pretty exciting.
