This was not a very well written article. It's full of opinions that don't come with good reasoning. It completely omits popular flavors of Lisp, like Racket. And it also shows a hint of critiqueless fanboy-ism with Clojure, when he goes on rambling about how writing Cocoa with Nu is a mess when using Java libraries with Clojure is almost just as bad (or someone has already written a wrapper layer). He also likes to bash C++ and Common Lisp while not really giving good reasons why - I guess it's popular to say bad things about C++/Common Lisp/Java/COBOL/any language with an ANSI or ISO standard.
Not to mention that it doesn't have any insight about the future of Lisp - apart from the fact that the author thinks that Clojure is the ultimate Lisp which is his own opinion.
