I use Chicken Scheme. I prefer Scheme over Common Lisp for practical reasons. None of the Common Lisp implementations that I'm aware of can compile code to nice, small, executables that start fast and don't use a ton of memory. They all either produce a huge image file or generate bytecode that has to be run in a VM.
