amitprayal··on ‘Less than half’ fresh produce sold globally makes any profit
Having been in US for a while and having coming back now I can definitely confirm that quality of fresh produce in US very bad compared to India, If you have only grown up on a meat based and processed foods diet you may not be able to relate. We generally consume a lot of fresh produce as compared to the western world, don't always believe in biased articles.

amitprayal··on Successful Lisp: How to Understand and Use Common Lisp (1999)
I think Clojure syntax is more intuitive than CL , at least to someone who has not spend a lot of time in CL One e.g. I can see for "destructuring"

(let [ [a b c] [1 2 3]] (+ a b c))

as opposed to

(multiple-value-bind (a b c) (values 2 3 5) (+ a b c))

Also datastructres maps, sets sequence abstraction in Clojure seem more Organic...in CL its feels like bolted on
