Actually there is very little evidence that a purely vector-based Lisp would be faster. From what I've seen, Clojure programs are not faster than CL programs. Maybe you have numbers which prove otherwise? > Clojure lists are much more suited to modern CPUs than traditional Lisp lists are 'much more'? Evidence?
