If being a hosted language alienates people from the language (item 2) they just don’t like the language. It was born as a hosted language and really isn’t clojure without host interop. It’s core to how Clojure is viable in the first place, core to its performance, core to its ability to have libraries. (It also seems to be taking into some really interesting places - from Java and .Net to JS and now Dart.)
Failing to write a native runtime from scratch and unearth one of the founding bedrocks of the language doesn’t mean Clojure is hostile to input or trying to alienate anyone, it’s just a massive project that no one is currently interested in (for good reason IMO).
