Okay, so you're saying that Common Lisp doesn't have any problems with fractured implementations as long as you spackle over them? Common man. I'm not trying to dis Lisp. I like Lisp... well to a certain extent; it's not my favorite.

I'm just saying that if people are having a love fest on Clojure, maybe the reason Lisp never got adopted had more to do with the implementations available than the language itself.
