Among all Scheme implementations Guile is in the same position
as bzr among all DVCSs - it is the "official" selection for the
GNU project.

JavaScript is not Lisp.

Clojure is not Scheme, but Clojure is Lisp, like Emacs Lisp is.

True, but I thought about replacing its Java VM part with Emacs.
Anyway, this point is moot, since Clojure concurrency relies on
Java threads, but Emacs has no threads yet. At least, Clojure
is a good example how concurrency with STM, agent, atoms and
dynamic var systems could be implemented in Emacs.
