I would have seriously considered Clojure if: * It had reader macros (I know, they're usually not a good idea, but I like the power). * Didn't use its vector notation for anything else than vectors (e.g. in bindings). Petty, but this hurts my eyes. * Had CL-like gradual typing, TCO and something more similar to CLOS.
