Racket or Clojure?

Name: Anonymous 2010-11-16 15:45

I'm going to invest a decent amount on time on further learning a Lisp dialect. I'm not learning it just to achieve Satori which I more or less already did, but I want an actual development platform to write my shit in, one that is library-rich, useful for a lot of things, multi-platform, and a state-of-the-art Lisp with support for functional programming, macros and decent programming. Furthermore, I wanted something clean, nice, modern, and a Lisp-1 above all else because of spiritual equilibrium and peace of mind. Considering these requirements, I'm left with Racket or Clojure (did I overlook anything else?). Now, /prog/, which should I invest time on?

I can't fathom to think functions are special or different kinds of values; that ((lambda () (display "lol")) isn't going to work as is, and I don't like code that names variables after functions even if it's possible to do so; not only because it feels queer, but because it implies shitty documentation: don't call your list of anus list, call it anii.
