Clojure is most certainly on par or exceeds both in business use.

• jhgb 5y ago
  How is Clojure relevant for the topic of fully interactive development? Unlike Smalltalk or Common Lisp, it doesn't even attempt it.
• pjmlp 5y ago
  On par with Allegro and Lisp Works it isn't certainly not.
  • casion 5y ago
    Agreed, Clojure very likely exceeds them combined in active business use.
    • pjmlp 5y ago
      Moving goal posts, the point is tooling and dev experience.
    • mcguire 5y ago
      Exceeding the common lisps in number of users is easy. Exceeding them in language capabilities is not.

    What are the innovations brought by Allegro and Lisp Works, relative to Clojure? Just asking as I haven't heard about those, I only have experience with Clj.

      A proper development experience like in the Lisp Machines, the whole stack is Lisp, compilation to native code AOT/JIT. As Guy Steele puts it, Java is half-way to Lisp, even if you put Clojure on top, it isn't the same deal as 100% Lisp.
