Clojure is interesting. It's not just another Lisp or Scheme port to the JVM,
it's somewhat innovative. I rather enjoyed watching the Clojure talks here:

  http://clojure.blip.tv/posts?view=archive&nsfw=dc

Particularly "Clojure for Lisp programmers". But be warned, it's about two hours
long!

There's also Scala, which is another language which targets the JVM.  Has type
inference, and it claims to integrate FP and OO in a way that "works".  Also has
traits, as seen in Perl6.
