I really like Clojure's data structure literals and some of the nice thoughts behind them, e.g., using map keywords as functions. Or relational algebra in sets. These little things make Clojure programming really nice.

OTOH, I find the hosted language baggage a bit off-putting: every now and then I have to think about the JVM (e.g., heap size) and there is a bid of impedance mismatch when using OO Java libraries.

Scheme--just beautiful but maybe not as productive?

@monkey1 Not as productive yet, but I suspect it will become.

We can build a better ecosystem without heavy baggage of legacy and quirks from JVM.

Maybe someday even Clojure-flavored dialect of Scheme will become more battle tested and many people will switch from Clojure to it. (github.com/lokke-org/lokke)
