With replies directly from Rich Hickey regarding Steve Yegge's "yes language".

Steve is certainly no stranger to Clojure.

Edit: also of interest in the discussion, Clojure is now #50 on TIOBE's top 50 list of languages. Notably OCAML didn't break #50 (or Common Lisp). I don't put much value in those lists personally but it does have economic value.
