Clojerl, Clojure on the Beam, is also one to watch: https://github.com/clojerl/clojerl

I am not really a fan of clojure and I much prefer the Erlang concurrency model to the options that clojure gives you. I don't agree with Rich Hickey here. And I prefer classic lisp syntax to clojure syntax.

But clojerl does give you the chance to run on a better VM so in that respect it is good. ;-)

Yes. Definitely. A much better Lisp option for the BEAM than LFE.

Why is it better than LFE?

It is NOT, is cool that you love Clojure, Scheme or Common Lisp but LFE is not a re-implementation of any of those things nor envy any of the features on them.

LFE is a clean, beautiful an proper Lisp for the complete BEAM ecosystem.
