I think this article vastly undersells the value of Java(script) interop. The ability to call out to a well-maintained library in two of the most widely-used languages in the industry is one of the major selling points of Clojure as a pragmatic LISP, versus e.g. Racket or CL. The reason why there are so many half-baked wrappers around popular Java libraries is that it’s reasonably trivial to write one yourself on demand, so that’s what people do.
