I love Scheme. And I love Clojure, which is IMHO Scheme plus some great ideas from Haskell.

I regret there's no Scheme or Clojure running on LLVM, which I think is a much better platform than the JVM. Julia, that resembles Dylan (another Lisp), is the perfect example.

I too wish there was such a thing as a JIT compiled Clojure on LLVM. The JVM is amazing but it only seems to be amazing for long running processes. LLVM, IMO, is far more versatile in its amazingness.

Not sure what Lisp family it compares to, but there is Hylas:
