Fair point. To me, Clojure is an "almost-lisp" because of its lack of cons cells, its use of all the brackets on the keyboard, and its dependence on the JVM which can't do tail jumps. I love Common Lisp because it compiles down to the metal and you can write code with it that starts instantly and runs very fast. But all the above is more about personal taste than anything else, so maybe I should try Clojure again.
