@gosha I started with Emacs Lisp ~4 years ago, loved it and it was my first "real" look into functional programming. I tried writing utilities outside of Emacs in it but found it to be very limiting so I tried Common Lisp due to its similarity.

I really liked Common Lisp for a time (and still find it to be a good language) but found Scheme to be more fitting for my High School project, which was a basic physics engine, or at least Guile Scheme had better bindings to some libraries I wanted to use.

From there I really started liking the idea of a Lisp-1 and greatly prefer it to Lisp-2 now. Sometime last year I started delving into Clojure, which seemed perfect for a lot of things I do because I like the JVM, and I get to use a Lisp(-1) on top of it! Since then I've written a Minecraft plugin and a music bot for Discord in Clojure, and the bot is still maintained and used regularly, while the Minecraft plugin was rewritten in Kotlin because it was just easier for that type of project.
