What? If anything, we have a "do-it-right" mentality :) The Clojure library ecosystem is very rich with new libraries coming out every week. We also reuse the rich Java library ecosystem to a large degree. I'm with Clojure for 10+ years and I don't "often end up writing custom code for a generic feature". Its quite the opposite. Clojure is a language that has hundreds of extremely well composing generic functions built in, that operate on a very rich set of first class immutable datastructures. Whatever Clojure you base your impressions on is very different from the one I know and use...
