SLIME is awesome. There's nothing like it really (Lighttable maybe? Haven't used it). No dependency on Java, compile straight to machine code. The language features like CLOS, conditions and so on give you a lot of flexibility. I found some of the libs not to be as robust as I hoped, but since you can monkey-patch everything it's not much of a problem.
