Switch from vim to use evil-mode in emacs, perhaps via the spacemacs or doom emacs emacs starter projects. These present the vim editing interface, but implemented in emacs. Then you're using emacs. Play around with emacs lisp customizing it and writing utilities for yourself to do editing tasks and whatever else you can think of. The community of emacs lisp programmers has lots of common lisp programmers. It's a serious-enough lisp to get started with, with sophisticated macros and several features from common lisp. Make sure you use paredit. It's basically essential when learning lisp to use an editor that automatically matches parens and keeps them balanced. Beginners who complain about the parens are making that mistake.
