I enjoyed the post. It's easy for those of us who've been in the community for a while to take such things for granted and not properly explain them to new folks.
One suggestion - perhaps concurrency and immutability each deserve their own section? That wouldd give you a chance to dig deeper into immutability and perhaps cover structural sharing, which is the answer to many Clojure newcomers' puzzlement as to how immutability can be memory efficient. The current immutability/concurrency paragraph reads to me like concurrency is the main point of immutability, where in my experience it's just one useful consequence.
