I think that what's important is not that this particular example has a short Guava equivalent but that, overall, Clojure code seems to be way shorter than equivalent Java code (even if you use Typed Clojure).
A lot of people are talking about a 10x code size reduction, which is amazing.
Also, it's not as if the Clojure code was some obfuscated brainf*ck-style unreadable one-liners. It's very easy to read for anyone remotely familiar with Clojure.
