Re:Shen – A Sufficiently Advanced Lisp [video] by MTarver on Thursday September 25, 2014 @06:44AM (#8366485)
Not really the same. That's rather like saying because I have a chassis and some wheels and an engine piled in the garage, I have a car. They have to be connected together in the right way to make Shen. Shen is available under Clojure and has been for about 2 years.

I'll also add that IMO there is a difference between having these features in a library and having them in the language standard. Common Lisp for instance, has had pattern-matching in various forms, but if you look at the code contributions on comp.lang.lisp these extensions are not often used.
