Good points.

It's interesting that despite this keywords are serialized all the time in Clojure land (eg in the transit format that is commonly used for frontend/backend communication).

I think Google's warning definitely applies to Clojure.

Most json libraries will convert string keys to keywords, and they're not weak references.

An attacker can probably just send a few dozen gigabytes of random json to the average Clojure app and it's going to go down.
