I'm the most junior member of the Clojure dev team and I have been programming professionally for 27 years (and started programming about 10 years before that). All of us have worked on large scale systems for the majority of our career in a variety of languages, both statically and dynamically typed (Java, C++, C#, Ruby, Lisp, Clojure, etc). I mention this not in defense (you can make your own judgements as you will) but as background. I don't think any of us would agree with the characterization of Clojure errors in the article.
