The primary advantage of clojure to my mind are the lovely data structures and the interaction with them.

Common Lisp and scheme can implementation them, and through reader macros interact in probably the same ways, but it would always be second or third class.

Second big deal for clojure is the ecosystem.

I'd love a native language like clojure that was driven by a language specification.
