Don't really get the criticism of Clojure for being hosted on the JVM, particularly relative to its status as a "productive" Lisp. Like oh, you get access to one of the biggest and most mature library ecosystems out there as well as best in class operational tooling? Obviously there are use cases where the JVM doesn't fit and all things being equal I prefer shipping statically linked binaries too, but the JVM still feels like an obvious "pro" here.
