And then there is clojure where symbols are just symbols without any slots. 
When the compiler encounters a symbol it resolves it to a Var or let local or 
function argument, which holds the actual value. So while feeling like a Lisp 
with "value slot only"-symbols, Clojure works a little bit differently under 
the hood.
