CL in the 21st Century is Clojure.

Damn right, I love how clojure hosted semantics import all the great features of their host. Like how clojurescript has only floating point numbers and coerces string to numbers when using the + operator.

In all seriousness, I mad love to Clojure, but is a different language with different sensibilities/tradeoff. Not a 'better' CL. For example, I imagine that interfacing with c code using cffi should be way easier and simpler than using JNI and then exposing that to clojure. Or having defined semantics for numerical computations.

Inexplicable stack traces caused by mediocre tools?
