Can somebody give arguments for using Racket or CL for web dev? Whenever I evaluate Lisps I end up choosing Clojure because to me it seems to be the most practical to develop web apps in.



I don't think you should look for arguments. Just try it. Write something in every one of the environments you are considering and you'll learn more than you ever could from reading online discussions.

As a data point, I moved from Common Lisp to Clojure and never regretted it. But the reason I switched was not because I read something online, but because of Clojure's concurrency support, which means I can create concurrent software that is robust.
