  You do realize that Clojure is not Common Lisp ? That being said, the linked video is from 2011 (published in 2013, but from 2011).

    Clojure isn't Common Lisp, but it's A Lisp, and a pretty decent one...
    • lispm 13y ago
      Clojure is incompatible with any other Lisp...
      • emiljbs 13y ago
        What do you mean exactly? I mean, Common Lisp is incompatible to Scheme for example.
        • lispm 13y ago
          Common Lisp was designed to be backwards compatible with Maclisp. Maclisp was developed from McCarthy's LISP. Clozure OTOH is compatible with nothing.
          • wyan 13y ago
            It's compatible with all devices which support a JVM, which these days outnumber the ones supporting Maclisp.
            • lispm 13y ago
              Yeah, it is compatible with the JVM. But that does not make it a Lisp. Not a bit.
              • emiljbs 13y ago
                How isn't Clojure a Lisp? What is a Lisp according to you? I'm not asking this in an agressive way, btw, I'm just really curious.

                    So simply that a language does not support car/cdr but uses first/rest instead disqualifies itself as a Lisp?
      • Mikeb85 13y ago
        So? Is Scheme compatible with Common Lisp? Clojure can run on any platform the JVM can (so basically anywhere except iOS). Clojurescript can run anywhere Javascript does (so everywhere). It's a practical, immediately useful language, that's seen significant uptake and activity. I like Common Lisp, but it's much easier to build useful apps in Clojure.

          > I like Common Lisp, but it's much easier to build useful apps in Clojure. Unlikely.
