And for those of us who hate Java but envy its libraries, there's
Clojure. It aims at the sweetspot of Lisp + Java's strengths + beefy
concurrency support.

Video from a Boston Lisp meeting about it: http://clojure.blip.tv/file/1313398/

I've made my living using Lisp the past few years. Now I hope to use
Clojure for a couple projects...
