No idea on that one... > 2. What about the performance of Clojure? Is it fast? Define "fast"! It all depends on what you do... I'd reply that you can always fall back to Java for time-critical stuff. That's probably a more reassuring answer than numbers that are hard to check and that are very probably not relevant to your specific application domain. > 3.

It starts by making the hypothesis that there is an opposition bewteen "academic" and "practical", which I think is wrong. It then goes on by assuming, probably without any basis, that programmers who like Lisp are in the "academic" category. You could try to point out real-life programs that were written in Lisp, including Clojure.
