23:47:44aethperryx: Common Lisp has better performance, is more multi-paradigm, and has natively compiled implementations. It's more traditional of a language, so mutability is fine. Clojure has better Java/JVM integration than ABCL (the JVM CL, which is pretty niche) and focuses on concurrency so it's probably easier to write programs in Clojure if they're in the style of the niche that Clojure is aimed at.
23:48:13aethIt's also easier to get a Clojure job.

23:51:55aethpjb: You can't Google Trends "lisp" because it's a regular dictionary word, and it's also a language family. Unfortunately, it's also often used interchangably with "common lisp", which is often also called "CL" or (erroneously because it's just an implementation) "CLISP". So I don't think you could come up with a query to find CL interest.
23:52:28aethEven language trends sites often have "Lisp" separate from "Common Lisp", "Scheme", "Clojure", and "Emacs Lisp", which then really raises the question "what are they measuring?"
