I've read a page[1] listing differences between Clojure and other LISPs, but I'm not sure that I fully understand the implications of these differences. [1] http://clojure.org/lisps

Clojure's a great lisp. I recommend it highly. I haven't spent much time with Scheme, but I can definitely say that I greatly prefer Clojure to Common Lisp.
