I think this response sold me on learning Racket first (though it was definitely a cumulative effect of hearing people's good experiences). I don't have a project in mind for either dialect. Basically, I want to learn lisp because I've heard learning lisp has certain mind expanding properties. This feature sounds like the mind expanding-est of all. And whatever skills I learn with Racket will probably be easily translated to Clojure, so it's not like I'd have wasted my time if I ended up working in a Clojure shop or on Clojure project. Thanks to everyone who responded.
