Ask HN: Common Lisp vs Clojure for web apps?

I'm building a somewhat complex web app, but eventually what I need are 1) support for postgres, 2) libraries which make it easy to deal with data in json and xml, and 3) allow me to generate html and javascript.

Overall, I think both CL and clojure support this basic feature set. And I'm trying them both out on a trial app anyway to get a feel for them.

However, I'd appreciate if anyone can provide me with some tips/guidance/gotchas/"this might help" sort of advice to get me going. Thanks :)
