Regarding Clojure, perhaps this is because the audience of the language is different than other Lisps. I do think that a lot of Clojure users are first time lispers or old-time lispers that moved to something else and are now coming back thanks to the current "fame" of the language. Simply put, Clojure-ers have an unusual background compared to other lispers.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm quite pleased by the Clojure ecosystem (even though I do hope it will extend) and, coming from Python, don't have too much trouble getting things done (besides struggling with my OOP habits / lisp itself).
