The original article doesn't make much sense to me either. It's just a weird rant.

I love Clojure and many of its libraries, but I think there are some aspects inhibiting its growth. Here they cover a few of these aspects:

It worries me a bit, since I would really like to have a practical Lisp that is on par with other mainstream languages in terms of tools, libraries and community. Clojure is quite healthy now, but some items need to be addressed in order not to fall behind.

I'm also quite enthusiastic about Racket getting to run on top of Chez Scheme, which may give it a bit of momentum. Besides, Clasp, with its LLVM capabilities, is the most promising Common Lisp to me right now. Sadly, it's mostly one-man project and the whole Common Lisp scene is a bit stagnant.
