Clojure is definitely __NOT__ a sibling of Scala. Being a sibling of scala would mean that it is something like C to C++ or Java to Ceylon.

It's a half-sibling, since they share a parent (JVM).

More like roommates, because they share a house.

It's more like a brothel.

Agree, just because they run in the same platform doesn't mean that they are related far from that.
