This is the best criticism of Clojure i've read.
>That being said, between the two I would start any modern project in Clojure rather than CL. Access to Java, modern libraries for web development, and a much much larger pool of developer talent to access are absolutely killer features for that language over CL.
While I agree with the "larger pool of developer talent", I am already working with ABCL which has pretty easy Java interop.
As for developer talent, What's difficult to find, is to find developers who really grok macros and the "code is data" feature.
When you find one, he/she will have it very easy to jump from CL <--> Scheme <--> Clojure, so i'm not too worried about that.
