Out of all Lisps I’ve the ones I’ve come to appreciate the most are Scheme and and Common Lisp. These two languages are fundamentally very different: Scheme is a minimalist language built on the foundations of lambda calculus, while Common Lisp is a multi-paradigm synthesis of many Lisps before it…
My experience has essentially been the same. Built a webserver with common lisp and have native code to launch it. But scheme just feels a bit nicer to write while CL has more things behind it. In the end I use common lisp mostly. Except when working with Guix.
