In my opinion, Clojure could be the perfect modern Lisp if it WASN'T so tied to the JVM. See http://lisp-univ-etc.blogspot.com/2011/11/clojure-complexity.html and http://www.loper-os.org/?p=42. I'm not saying that cool stuff can't be done in Clojure, but it only appears to be the modern Lisp it wants to be.
