Curious, because I'm also doing Scheme now, and Clojure was my gateway drug, which Scheme are you using and for what sort of problem? I'm using s7, but that's because my use case is very much oriented to s7's non-typical feature set (it's computer music), but Janet looks really nice too. (Many similarities to both Clojure and s7 actually).

Mostly Chez. Racket is remarkable too -- I have never felt that I was stretching its capabilities. Enjoying Janet, trying to get over Clojure habits where the two differ.

Most of my career has been involved in medical diagnostic, data analysis, and desktop applications. Hobby projects include text processing, editors, outliners, wikis, and knowledge management.

Cool, thanks for the details.

Interesting, Clojure was my gateway drug to CL. I wonder how common it is for people who come to Clojure but get warned off by the JVM to migrate further down the lisp road?

[iainctduncan]

yeah that was basically it for me. JVM for computer music just doesn't make any sense but I loved the language so went hunting for others.
