At the risk of feeding a troll, a bit of reading comprehension and critical thinking 101: regardless of whether or not you personally consider Clojure to be a Lisp, this is outside the discussion of the article. The home page for Clojure explicitly states "Clojure is a dialect of Lisp."
This is in contrast to JavaScript, whose creators never claimed it was Scheme or even a dialect, although the author of the article suggests it was influenced Scheme. In addition, he has perceived that lately, many people claim JavaScript is Scheme, and he rejects that claim.
Disputing the validity of Clojure as a Lisp is orthogonal to the subject of the article.
