I've been "toying"(mashing functions + keystroke until something nice comes out the REPL) with Clojure + SBCL for a few months now. I'm by no measure an expert. Two things I noticed what I really LOVE about Clojure versus CL. 1) The immutability by default: Yes I know you can "get there" in LISP but Clojure really has this as part of the core dna of Clojure. Immutability is surely not the silver bullet it claims to be, but dammit it has made my programs so much nicer and elegant ! 2) Square-brackets [] for function parameters: As a newbie to LISP* getting used to the syntax will take some effort. But I feel that with the [] of Clojure it makes it sooo much easier... YMMY.
