If you haven't already heard about it, Lisp is a neat little family of languages; its extremely minimal syntax lets us think in nearly-pure algorithms, un-muddled by crufty syntax or obligatory boilerplate.

This guy is smoking crack.
There's Racket, and then there are all sorts of other platforms which a Lisp could be written on or for that would be beneficial. EdgeLisp runs on top of V8, which is an insanely fast JavaScript engine. What about a Lisp to Lua-jit or Lua in general?
While I agree that Clojure is probably the best shot we've got right now at a mainstream Lisp, there's definitely more than enough room for a new Lisp to emerge and steal away some eyeballs.
