I like Clojure, I really do. I find it concise, elegant and expressive. My 
great worry is that a wonderful language stands to be ignored by the assembled 
masses of Java programmers, simply because it has unwittingly inherited more 
Lisp baggage than it needs to.

(Incidentally, I'd never really grokked how different Clojure is from trad 
Lisps until I watched Rich's screencasts on Clojure for Lisp programmers...)
