In "5. The Language", not one mention of the language's real roots - Lisp.

Very unfortunate, IMHO.

Hi. Thanks for the feedback. Please note that the document is a work-in-progress.

I didn't think to mention its roots on that page, given that it's one of the first things mentioned on the main clojure.org page.

Added a note about it being a Lisp dialect.

Thanks. Its always good for anyone who has even a passing interest in a programming language to know the motivation for it given the amount of programming languages out there.
