Scheme is great, but I think there are several key features that clojure has that scheme doesn't provide by default, including (but not limited to):

- Persistent Hash-Trie based Data Structures

- Beautiful asynchronous constructs

- Multimethods

- Protocols

Obviously I in no way intend to discredit scheme, nor start a lisp flamewar :) /sidenote I love this article comparing a game written in 4 lisp dialects (http://technomancy.us/169)
