Out of curiosity, are there any particular reasons why you like Clojure more than other Lisps/Schemes? I've played with it a little and found it kind of weird due to no car/cdr/cons, no TCO, loop/recur/trampoline, the usage of [], and various other quirks. It's a Lisp but you can't just write Lisp code in it, it requires learning new idioms. But I'm not good enough at Clojure yet to know what advantages it has over other Lisp family languages, aside from the Java libraries. What features of Clojure do you particularly like?
