I'm currently developing Autocad extensions, so I work routinely in AutoLisp, but pure Lisp implementations are at best outdated. So I was very interested when Clojure came out. Now that I'm tackling video-games with HTML5/CSS/JavaScript, ClojureScript might become a very interesting alternative.

I was also very fascinated by Scheme's call-with-current-continuations, so I'm hoping they will implement in Clojure.

call-with-current-continuation

I think targeting the JVM (as Clojure does) makes that difficult. I may be way out of date, though.

I've read that call/cc can be emulated with continuation monad, and monads might just be parte of the next core... I've yet to dig into the issue, though.
