Scheme if you want to write beautiful, elegant code that truly elevates programming to the level of an art form, Common Lisp if you want to get anything done.

Scheme is very good for education (self-education or otherwise).
If you want to get things done, I'd recommend Prolog or Haskell over Common Lisp.

You should not learn scheme or common-lisp
learn them both.

I haven't seen many uses for LISP, tbh, but I'm just learning it myself. Then again I haven't found a good book on it either, so I guess I'm fracked either way.

I'm currently using the "Practical Common Lisp" book, which is available for free -

Scheme, with SICP. So you can say "I've read SICP".

But have you read SICP or not?

Scheme. Use Mzscheme or any like it if you want to do realish stuff.

I'm a fan of picoLisp. Not having to type out "lambda" all the time and being able to match an arbitrary number of parens with a bracket is awesome.
That said, lists tend to be a pretty wasteful data type...
A good Lisp/Scheme book is the classic: "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs." I think you can find it for free online.

What does this have to do with the topic, or is this just your way to say "I've read SICP"?

Recent versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Apple's Safari, and Linux FireFox browsers include support for SVG.
Wait, what?

Allow me to clarify:
I have heard that Scheme is more "academic", and that if you actually want to get anything practical done you should use Common Lisp.
I would like to know what the major differences are, and perhaps hear some opinions from people who have used both as to which one is generally better for writing apps with.
