Clojure(Script) is neither a Scheme nor an implementation of Common Lisp but is a LISP dialect. LISP dialect languages are simply a group of lisp-like language not just implementations of Common Lisp. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lisp-family_programm...

Scheme is generally also a LISP Dialect, more so like Clojure, since it inherits many of the LISP features directly.

Generally Clojure has very little in common with LISP dialects, besides some concepts. It has no linked lists, almost no functions are the same, almost no macros are the same, no special forms are the same, similar named operators often do something different, ... Think ATOM, CONS, CAR, CDR, APPEND, SETQ, NULL, DOLIST, DOTIMES, ... basically the original core of LISP is not present in Clojure. Literally no Clojure code runs in LISP dialects and no LISP code runs in Clojure dialects -> without completely rewriting it. Some Scheme ran in LISP - with more or less effort to do so. Nowadays that's not very common.

Clojure may in abstract terms be a LISP dialect, but the expectation that anything from LISP can be applied directly to Clojure is not the case. You can't take any LISP book and execute the examples in Clojure , nor would it make much sense.

I personally can't consider Clojure as a lisp dialect. According to McCarthy, lisp is built on top of five fundamental primitives: CONS, CAR, CDR, EQ, and ATOM. Excepting for EQ, Clojure has none of these or define them differently than the other lisp dialects, breaking the inter-compatibility of the core language.

Sure that Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, but that statement shouldn't be backed by a link to a website that describes differences between Scheme and Common Lisp. CL and Clojure are two completely different dialects and confusing them for each other is an error.
