@kentpitman As you say, it is light-heated, and defining what is or isn't a Lisp is really a yak shaving exercise. Nothing makes Clojure Un-Lispy, I think. I don't think it is very Lisp-y either, but that becomes a philosophical and personal discussion with no end. At the end ... it does not matter, I just get slightly annoyed when everything and anything becomes "A Lisp", when nobody goes around calling Javascript a C, despite syntax similarities, or semantics, or what have you.
