To play devil's advocate, wouldn't the exact same thing be possible with the above alternatives and Armed Bear Common Lisp? You can write full-stack in Common Lisp, it's just that different parts need to go through different compilers/interpreters/transformers/what-have-you. Just as it is with Clojure.
No, I think the thing to note here is that Clojure--for reasons I can only guess at--has a lot more sex appeal than CL.
