In this case, I'm thinking of the unfortunate JVM error messages from Clojure. As far as I know, the main reason to suffer through Clojure's attachment to the JVM is that no other Lisp has the same level of support for web applications.
The second reason may be something about performance, but we can probably close that gap with some different approaches. I'm specifically thinking of taking a shot at a libev-based server like Common Lisp's Woo for higher performance, although that would be a shot in the dark because I don't understand the details affecting server performance right now.
