I have a slightly tangential take on this subject. I do web development and

I have learned and use Clojure a dialect of Lisp for some odd jobs just for
this reason.
I've had this on my todo list for sometime but then I read ..

...which made me re-think whether it was worth the effort (I already know a
smattering of scheme but not well enough to consider it for anything resembling
serious work).
Just curious, what do you (or anyone who has bothered learning clojure) think
about that ?
cheers,
