But with Clojure and immutable by default, hot reload is a real thing, it sounds like not just on JVM but even among lisps.

Clojure barely let you import packages without restarting the JVM recently in its life.

Can you expand on that? I am mildly experienced with Clojure, and much more so with the JVM and I see no reason for that to happen (besides perhaps some kind of module shenanigans or importing stuff that requires special flags?)

But it has this capability and had it for a while. What's your complain?

Ehh, no. In fact, other Lisps are actually slightly better at hot reloading because they're not hampered by the JVM's limits.
Check out stuff like CHANGE-CLASS or whole image loading.
