Since this is completely relevant I don't feel terrible at all about pimping my essay about the Bridge between Emacs, Clozure CL, and the Apple Foundation Framework.
In fairness, though, ClozureCL was OpenMCL until 2007, the same year Clojure came out. So Rich Hickey and Clozure probably each had no idea that the other was about to name a Lisp almost the exact sam thing.

Closure (the construct)
Closure (Google's thing)
Clojure (lisp dialect)
ClojureScript (converts Clojure to JS)
Clozure CL (another lisp dialect)
Every single time I say one of these out loud, I have to explain myself. Ugh.
Of course, if we wanna, we can start getting confused right here. http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book-Z-H-15.html...
(also also, http://www.4clojure.com/ and the "So wait, I can't buy cheap real estate here?" part :)
Or we could just agree not to use the name for programming things any more. Thus getting, you know, closure. :-)
