Wait. If a module has dependencies, that's usually a *good* thing --- it 
hopefully does one thing well, and doesn't reinvent the wheel.

Also, the article online still reads, "Does it have many dependencies?"

By the way, I enjoyed the article. Thanks! I liked the short pithy 
sentences you wrote throughout:

"The JVM makes Clojure *practical*.
A functional style makes Clojure *elegant*.
Lisp makes Clojure *powerful*.
Data as Data makes Clojure *simple*.
Immutability makes Clojure programs *easy to reason about*."

Oooh, looking at that list, I wonder if one about laziness is missing...
