Clojure looks more sane than Common Lisp to me. The symbols aren't complete madness and there is interoperability with Java. That's a far safer bet than living in your own little Lisp universe. Much, much better first impression than with Common Lisp, and I expect I can probably use this without needing to also learn Emacs and Slime.
Unfortunately, they don't use Clojure at that Lisp job I might apply for.

Clojure is a bit more prescriptive about the functional style, though. You're not supposed to have mutable variables. I mean, my code generally contains very few mutable variables, and I'm in the habit of const'ing most things, but it does occasionally happen that I use a let.
