I would actually disagree. In the Clojure world, we try to embrace the platform, meaning that we do not try to make all source compatible.

The goal is to have the basic comparable and then make all the more algorithmic library work everywhere. I think this has worked out pretty well so far.

Things like core.logic, core.match, core.typed and so on work on both sides with relatively small adjustments.

Clojure is odd in this way. Java was created as a cohesive, self-sufficient platform. Clojure was always envisioned as sort of a passenger — something to be grafted on to an existing platform. From the very early days, it already lived in two different environments simultaneously (the JVM and CLR), so the culture and the practices were already there, and it wasn't too jarring when they added JavaScript.
