I feel most "at home" in Common Lisp, though I agree that Scheme is more elegant. Speaking of elegant I recently had some fun playing around with Janet (https://janet-lang.org https://janet-lang.org) and I have to say it is quite nice.
If I had to pick a language to stay in forever and I had the time to really grow it into what I wanted using C extensions I'd probably choose Janet (or make my own similar lisp).
Like most people, though, I have a day job and until I decide to retire I won't have time to reinvent an entire personal programming system for myself. For pure "get in there and have fun" sessions after work Common Lisp gets my vote despite its clunkiness. And besides... it's a lisp! If something's too clunky I'll just fix it.

- iainctduncan 4y agoJanet is very similar to s7 Scheme too, a minimal scheme for embedding that borrows heavily from CL. I use s7 for Scheme for Max, the author made it for various other computer music purposes.
