I found the conversation to be sub-par and disappointing. I also find it discouraging that these arguments inevitably boil down to a Clojure-vs-Common-Lisp argument. What about Racket, Guile, Chicken Scheme, etc.?

Probably because CLojure feels the closest to Common Lisp, so it's the best comparison.
