It can't be too unusual; I've seen this critique shared in forums, to which you've replied, for years.
I've seen developers remark how turned off they got by reading stuff like this on its front page, which is frankly just noise and undermines the goals of a serious project:

I mean, come on. The very best minds work in many different fields with many different languages. Lisp doesn't own the best minds, and neither does re-frame. The fact that lisp or Fortran or other languages have been around for many decades is kinda irrelevant, and this writing style permeates all the docs.
