This is categorically false. Multimethods solve a certain problem "open arbitrary function dispatch". Nothing in Clojure aside from multimethods solves this problem. There are many projects that use multimethods to their great advantage, including, but not limited to:

* Clojure

* ClojureScript

* ClojureScript One

Overtone also uses multimethods in a number of places. They're crazy powerful and useful.
