@simon_brooke @mapcar @praetor I still use CL. Somehow its overall attitude matches my own attitude.
Like in this particular case (introducing "otherwise" or "else"), Clojure's attitude seems to be "introducing a whole symbol just for this singular purpose, Nah". while CL's attitude seems to be "One more symbol, who cares". I tend to side with CL.
But the practical reason is, I do more exploratory programming than webdev. If its the other way around, I would use clojure.

  It should have been 12.0d0 right?

  @nsrahmad @simon_brooke @praetor I feel similarly, there are many things I like about CL, but my sentiments are also somewhat historical. I could see myself liking clojure, but I have so far not really have had neither the energy or the usecase to really dive into that.
  Having done a fair amount of scheme in university, I must say that I very much prefer CL, I am much too practically oriented to live with sillyness like nil =!= false.

  Common Lisp certainly has numerous warts -- think that it is unavoidable at certain size. That said I think that it is a very practical language -- not in a sense that it is packed with features, but because these features are orthogonal and useful.
  This and the fact, that the language does not impose opinions on how your program should be designed, is a quality rarely found on languages that know the one true way of programming.

  Hey buddy, because of this, I'll look into lisp.
  
  However, I know that I will need to use many many shims to use this language with other libraries. Coming from a long python and c background, where should I start?
  
  I know there are many many types of lisp, and many which call themselves "common" but are not at all

  @tyler @jackdaniel @nsrahmad @simon_brooke @mapcar Actually you really don't. Especially with something like Scheme where making your OWN DSL is REALLY easy.
