title: What are the actual differences between Scheme and Common Lisp? (Or any other two dialects of Lisp)
body: <p><em>Note: I am not asking which to learn, which is better, or anything like that.</em></p>
  
  <p>I picked up the free version of SICP because I felt it would be nice to read (I've heard good stuff about it, and I'm interested in that sort of side of programming). </p>
  
  <p>I know Scheme is a dialect of Lisp and I wondered: what is the actual difference is between Scheme and, say, Common Lisp?</p>
  
  <p>There seems to be a lot about 'CL has a larger stdlib...Scheme is not good for real-world programming..' but no actual thing saying 'this is because CL is this/has this'.</p>
