the only major difference I see between what you're calling 'clojure' and a lisp is that clojure compiles to JVM. That alone goes for a toss when you say you're porting it to BEAM. There is no more java in the equation. Its interop with erlang/elixir ecosystem. Which is exactly what lfe is (apart from some minute differences in syntax which may or may not be there).
I don't see how this brings anything new to the ecosystem. Clojure is a LISP and we already have lfe (http://lfe.io/) - LISP floured Erlang for quiet a while now, hence it will definitely be more mature than a new implementation altogether. Moreover I feel, seeing the the currently more effort should be made in maturing the classic clojure implementation and the tooling around it itself, rather than diverting the community into fancy new (not so useful) ports of the same syntax for other runtimes. Seriously, just go improve clojure itself. And if you want to be able to write lisp for BEAM, just use lfe.
Don't know why but the post doesn't mention Ingress resources when it comes to exposing and load balancing your services. It is a much better and official way then that mentioned in the article.

You sir are using git in a very wrong way it seems. Its not dropbox, you get to decide and see exactly what changed and why. Not just do a `git add .; git commit; git push`
