What makes clojure better in your opinion than other lisps like scheme and Common Lisp?

Always the risk of offending the lisp weenies but Clojure is so much more practical for startups today strictly due to JVM interop (I.e. library availability). Assumption here being most startups are building a classic webapp or something

hygienic macros in clojure have prevented some gotcha moments (there are academic solutions for this in common lisp - gensym)

I like all the little choices (which are trivial to port to other lisps but clojure got there first):

- threading macros
- the jvm integration delivered a repl for java (unique to it)

Immutable data literals, nil pruning, general standard library and how it composes.
