I really truly love Clojure the language. To me the vector, map, etc syntax is a perfect amount of syntactic sugar--it institutionalizes idiomatic use of these structures. But... sometimes the JVM feels awfully heavy-weight and far from the metal. I have to wonder what a Clojure on SBCL or Racket would look like. Ignoring for a moment the benefits of the epic number of JVM libraries, I can't help but think that the foundations of those languages would be a pretty low impedance mismatch for Clojure The Language. Hey, Clojure-on-CL or Clojure-on-Racket could even support real tail recursion.
