So:

Clojure was born as a hybrid of FP and CL for the JVM, as that seemed perfect to the authors personal experience...

Sorry, but I'll not abandon my own way for such a personal preference style (if I only could remember where I already saw this pattern... hm [...]).

I'm perfectly OK with my chosen Lisp system (no, I won't tell you, no war fan I am).

"The author prefers it" is suddenly a problem with a language? Have a look at Clojure; it's a very nice language on its own merits. (I particularly like the combination of software transactional memory with by-default immutable data structures.)
