@vavakado @screwtape If you go into common lisp, look at clisp. It does everything one could expect with lisp, but is a lot more forgiving of common mistakes.
I use clisp to hash out new ideas, because ideas can be fleeting and I don't care to think about flushing buffers and whatnot. Clisp knows how lazy I am and does what I hope. The jam sessions that produce code that does what I hope it would do then gets loaded and fixed in sbcl.
Also, I wouldn't call scheme easier. It's smaller. But that doesn't mean easier. You can learn all of it faster because ... it's smaller.
As a 35 year Lisper, I find a lot of scheme baffling. It's not "easier" so much as they mean there is less to learn of the actual commands etc, but more to learn to accomplish what is considered slobberproof in common lisp. Ease is not the actual selling point.
