Not sure what you are talking about - Clojure has a great many OO-ish constructs - even local state! The only thing that's really missing is deep support for static forms of inheritance.

As programmer that feels quite at home with OO idioms - Clojure distills it down to the parts I actually like.

I totally agree with this, and LISPs have always been pragmatic about state, although I get the feeling that Clojure emphasizes purity a bit more than other LISPs. I was replying to two separate points from parent, the points weren't meant to go together :)
