New ask Hacker News story: Choice paralysis between CL and Clojure
Choice paralysis between CL and Clojure

I think I'm further hurting myself by asking this, but putting unnecessary fanboyism aside, which do you think (and why) is the best choice between these two to learn in 2021? I've already had a taste of enlightening Lisp (Scheme) via SICP and actually feel more capable of understanding concepts that were previously unclear to me, however I'd like some practical reasons for choosing, since neither of these languages can help me much in finding a new job... So it would be a matter of confining them to my personal use. I'm fairly proficient with Python and Go, plus I use Emacs a little bit for everything, though my Elisp is very basic. CL sounds like the logical choice because of SLIME, and Clojure sounds like the choice to avoid because of the JVM and the fact that I already know Go that plays in the same domain... But I'd like to hear some other opinions. Thanks to all in advance
