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?

Clojure is a fucking piece of shit. I find it hard to understand how anyone can take that pile of misfeatures seriously.

The only point that makes sense is that you don't like Racket's syntax, but to me it is quite clean and easy to read compared to Clojure's ``explosion in an ASCII factory''.
