<p>Depending on my mood I seem to waffle back and forth between wanting a Lisp-1 and a Lisp-2.  Unfortunately beyond the obvious name space differences, this leaves all kinds of amusing function name/etc problems you run into.  Case in point, trying to write some code tonight I tried to do (map #'function listvar) which, of course, doesn't work in CL, at all.  Took me a bit to remember I wanted mapcar, not map.  Of course it doesn't help when slime/emacs shows map IS defined as something, though obviously not the same function at all.</p>

<p>So, pointers on how to minimize this short of picking one or the other and sticking with it?</p>

Map
is more general than mapcar, for example you could do the following rather than using mapcar:
```
```
(map 'list #'function listvar)
```
```
How do I keep scheme and CL separate in my head? I guess when you know both languages well enough you just know what works in one and not the other. Despite the syntactic similarities they are quite different languages in terms of style.
