  Clojure mindset/recommendations diverge from (any) Lisp though - they prefer using primitives everywhere instead of creating proper abstractions and mini libraries/languages as in any other Lisp. EDIT: real -> other

    > as in any (real) Lisp While the OP, by "Lisp", means "Common Lisp" - you're aware that following this old meme of "Clojure is not a real Lisp" only causes interpersonal fires and brings no real benefit, I hope?

      Edited. Didn't know that topic is so sensitive :)

        It kinda is. There have been countless debates about Clojure not being a real Lisp, Scheme not being a real Lisp, Janet not being a real Lisp, Lisp not being a real Lisp, and IMO they've only created circle jerks, tons of "my Lisp has a longer cons cell than yours"-style arguments, and overall made the landscape a worse place. If you're interested, search for "is an acceptable Lisp" and/or "is not an acceptable Lisp" and read all the articles, their comment sections, and the Hacker News dumpster fires that ensued. Maybe they would be amusing if only they weren't happening in my language community.
