As far as I can tell the only argument against it being is that it does not specifically use cons cells.
- mikelevins 3y agoI did not intend to classify Clojure as "not a Lisp". I didn't intend to comment on Clojure at all, specifically, so commenting on this particular thread was an ill-conceived choice on my part. I wanted to describe the source-code peculiarity because it hadn't been discussed elsewhere in the comments and I think it's important in what you might call old-fashioned Lispiness. I should have chosen another place for my comment. Sorry about that.
