I wish Clojure had those features, too. But I don't miss reader macros for all the reasons that Clojure doesn't implement them, though you don't have to use them where they do exist. In my experience, though, the lack of full TCO in Clojure actually makes people write more readable code in many cases (because you can only recur from a tail position in Clojure, you always know where to look). On the other hand, does Scheme have STM? Agents? Refs? I'd miss those.
