Clojure is great if you happen to be tied to the JVM. It is fantastic to have something usable on such an environment. However, outside that environment there is little advantage compared to Common Lisp, since Clojure drags this huge piece of crap that is the JVM. I would much prefer to have libraries in the Python style -- that is, being able to connect to real, native object code in several architectures.
