> Clojure is surely the best known modern LISP, but I do not want to depend on the JVM. Why don't you want to depend on the JVM? You are deliberate ignoring the most well known modern lisp, which has straightforward installation, great tooling, and lots of support available. Not to mention the JVM is one of the most powerful and highly optimised vm platforms and has hundreds of thousands of man years invested in high quality libraries. > Speaking as an outsider, I think LISP would gain a lot more traction if its community coalesced around a single implementation And surely they would focus around a JVM implementation. The only other platforms that even come close are c/c++, and the .net clr.
