From http://paulgraham.com/lispfaq1.html http://paulgraham.com/lispfaq1.html: --- Which should I learn, Common Lisp or Scheme? What's the difference? Common Lisp is powerful but ugly. Scheme is small and clean, but the standard only defines the inner core of the language. If I had to deliver an application I'd probably use Common Lisp; if I were teaching a course I might use Scheme (but with Common Lisp macros). --- See also (more detailled): http://community.schemewiki.org/?scheme-vs-common-lisp http://community.schemewiki.org/?scheme-vs-common-lisp
