Clojure 1.6, Emacs 24.5... These are pretty old versions, at least of those.

Emacs Lisp is a descendant of PDP-10 MAClisp, which makes it one of the oldest Lisp dialects still actively maintained. Whether it's version 24.5 or 30.2 doesn't make much of a difference semantically.
Most of the things in that table won’t change from version to version anyway.
To be fair I think the only real differences since 1.6 you’d see are transducer versions of some of what’s in here for Clojure. The stuff expressed here is all very basic.
There is a difference with the very first line item, though minor: "clojure --version" is available. True that transducers aren't going to be a part of this comparison.
I have been a clojurist for more than a decade and I started with Clojure 1.7. 1.6 was released in 2014!
