i think this is because of Clojure's mentality on backwards compatibility and not the JVM specifically. please someone correct me if im wrong tho!

I feel there's much more to it. There are so many pieces in Clojure that just feel like they're done right. Even after a decade of using it, I remain happy. Not a single other language (and I tried more than a few) has kept me happy for so long.
