I don't think Clojure is .. that .. to Java. Clojure is a language which compiles to JVM byte code, which is also the platform that java compiles to, so (as consequence of that) they can interoperate. But I don't think Clojure was meant as a replacement for Java or some kind of extension of the Java language or some sort of CoffeeScript for Java. Clojure is a powerful functional programming language with lots of new paradigms and original ideas - quite at the opposite spectrum of the object-oriented Java. Although I don't program in it, my C++ coding skills and more importantly architectural skills, improved dramatically after learning Clojure. So the title of the article is incorrect (and click-bait-y).
