I don't completely agree with all of the points but I am really glad that there are sensible critics of Clojure who don't position it as a perfect language.
I have been working exclusively with Clojure for over 2 years now and I came from mostly C# background and I still want to pull my hair out every time I have to fix a bug which wouldn't have happened in a language with a good compiler. Same goes for asynchronous programming, which I think is generally lagging behind by many years in JVM world.
Another issue I have is the lack of choice in quality third party libraries. A lot of them are created as wrappers over Java libraries and then abandoned and those that aren't usually lack in documentation and depth.
