OP here, here's what i like in scheme

((if #t + -)
  1 2)

In common lisp, you'd have to do this

(funcall (if t #'+ #'-)
  1 2)

Same with lambda. (eg you need funcall)

Sure, it's a stupid reason to prefer one language from another, but i haven't used both much anyway.

Also, another thing i have noticed: Is it even possible to create an actual executable (ELF, PE, etc) with common lisp or scheme? It would be nice if its possible, im thinking of using lisp for some fun stuff (simple SDL games, i have some fresh ideas for games that might be pretty damn addictive) which i firstly intended to write in C, but it's too much for me (im a perfectionist, cannot stand bugs and there's just *too much* you have to worry about in C) so i thought lisp but that would be useless if i cant distribute exetutables too (i doubt the average gamer would want to install SBCL ..)
