I am pretty late to the Lisp world myself, but this cons obsession doesn't make any sense to me either. I think it is useless gatekeeping.
My personal definition is if someone saw it would they call it a Lisp? Janet is definitely closer to a Lisp, than an ML or C-styled language. Therefore, it is a lisp.
