Clojure on .NET CLR is coming along nicely. and if you want bare-metal, you can always switch to Common Lisp.

I am not sure I would like to be vulnerable to the whims of Microsoft.

Clojure in Clojure is something that Rich has started thinking about. Turtle Clojure ("It's turtles all the way down") to bare-metal as it counts for this (Linux, Xen, whatever) will follow that.

CL and Clojure are very different Lisps.

In my (inexperienced, non-lisp-coding) book, Clojure looks really cool and the sort of thing I can see myself using a lot.

CL looks old and painful to deal with, although it does have all the lisp goodness in there somewhere.
