/prog/ - How is Clojure? Common Lisp? Racket?

Name: Anonymous 2013-01-05 14:10

I've only ever used R5RS Scheme so with that in mind how do the main Lisp dialects today compare?

I want to write a web facing application in Lisp to see how it "feels". For the record I don't think I ever had as much fun programming as I did when I was using Scheme and I want experience that clear and concise magical thinking again.

Clojure.

Clojure is disgusting. It takes 10 seconds for the interpreter to load.

Racket has tons of stuff to help with that.

Write your own Lisp. Thats what Paul Graham did and now he runs the site which provides /prog/ with most of its content!
