How does Racket stack up against Clojure? I like some of the special extended reader support for data structures, I dig the immutability, some of the concurrency stuff....I don't think immutability/concurrency is that typical for LISPs...for people who've tried both, which one do you prefer?

I think people tend to use Clojure more because it has the Java VM and platform as support, which is a nice thing to have given its extension.

The .Net world has IronScheme which is very stable and interesting too.
