The "Clojurians don't like testing" meme probably has more to do with Rich Hickey's famous "guard rail programming" [1] comment than anything else. Of course, even at the time, the joke within the community was, "Yes, Rich Hickey doesn't need to write tests....you do!"

And Rich Hickey isn't against testing. He was having a jab at test driven design.
