The conclusion of this article is: "Clojure is not the same as Common Lisp." Well, yeah, it's not the exact same language. How is this surprising?
I wish the author would have spent a little bit more time researching. The comparison is just plain sloppy. Why is Clojure's `recur` not mentioned, for instance? This is documentation that's not that difficult to find by googling, and is mentioned in (I believe) every Clojure book available.
To make a point, I thought about 'recur' and I haven't written a single line of Clojure in my life. In comparsion, CL's looping constructs were not mentioned, which crop up often enough.
