I suspect it's because your answer was indirect and had a fairly proselytizing tone. I found the information interesting, but it was a somewhat irritating read because it was inverted to demand attention, like a story, rather than being upfront. A better-received comment might have read more like:
"I used Clojure. This was mainly because it's my favorite language, so I could work faster in it, and because it has certain features which make debugging extremely fast. et cetera."
