True, the CL REPL is more useful than the Clojure REPL, but CL has a 20-30 year head start in development. Plus, Clojure was developed as a hosted language, and runs on .NET, Javascript, JVM, and even Dart (in-progress). Since exceptions are quite deeply integrated into those platforms (as opposed to conditions), it has "bled through" to the Clojure APIs, and, in turn, REPL. Folks have written a CL-style condition/restart library for Clojure (https://github.com/IGJoshua/farolero https://github.com/IGJoshua/farolero) too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp0OEDcAro0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp0OEDcAro0 video too.
