I use Clojure and not CL because:
- It communicates well with Java, so I can outsource my coding
- It has access to the zillions of java libraries that do all sorts of things, including Swing and Weka
- Since it runs on the JVM, you can more safely assume that your problem will work everywhere
- If you can show the same libraries being used with much less code, you can convert Java programmers to the lambda way
- And, most importantly, I don't get tied to Emacs
