Speaking as one of the original “Gang of Five” authors of “Common Lisp: The Language”, I am at this point convinced that Clojure is the future of Lisp (for production applications; Scheme will still have its place). I think all of those things (libraries, mostly-functional, transactions, maybe not reader macros) are very important. So is the general cleanup and the use of protocols throughout. These are all things I had been advocating for the last several years, including running on the JVM, so you can imagine how delighted I was the first time I heard Rich’s talk on Clojure.
