I've heard Clojure described as a solution to that, because you get access to every Java library, and in Java there's pretty much a library for every modern-ish need.
Clojure is my first choice language for new projects, but improving other options in the Lisp space is a Good Thing. I prefer the idea of having more than one making headway outside the hardcore programming lovers, if that's possible.
Python is still my GOTO language for Getting Things Done but the two new technologies that have gotten me most excited recently have been Clojure and Arduino. I'm a newb with respect to both I look for more excuses to use them everyday.
Clojure also seems to have lot more momentum behind it.
