I never said "it doesn't support", it's just not the same.
Code re-use is just one of the aspects. When choosing a tool, especially a tool like a programming language, one needs to take "a holistic approach". Clojure is not a silver bullet. Neither is Haskell, Rust, or any other PL.
I like Clojure today, because today it makes sense for me to use it. For the projects I build. I'm sure, someday, it stops making sense for me to use it, and I will move onto something else.
You can use all sorts of arguments for people to try something else today, assuming they are just misinformed - either about Clojure or the other PLs (you're preaching about).
I can assure you though, most Clojuristas I know - didn't end up using Clojure by accident. It's a deliberate choice. After trying many other options.
