Hi, Here's how I would summarize it: - Common Lisp = big standard, very old, unlikely to change in the future, complex and powerful object system, several implementations, almost all mature and efficient, has some quirks with historical roots - Scheme = small standard, also very old, changing but slowly (there's a committee), many implementations, but only a few mature and efficient, different philosophy, different macro system, no object system - Clojure = strives to be a modern Common Lisp, in the sense that it prefers practicality over theoretical purity, has no standard (just a main implementation for the JVM, and others that follow closely but are not 100% compatible and don't intend to be), designed to be hosted and fit well with the host runtime, focuses on concurrency and has quite a unique approach to it, no object system (but has some OO features)
