> It would be interesting to know what the author thinks of these developments, and whether they could revive his personal faith.
I am very encouraged by the developments of the last 9 years. Clojure in particular is a Good Thing (notwithstanding my on-going allergy to Java), and even the Common Lisp landscape to day is much improved over what it was in 2002. Clozure Common Lisp in particular is wicked cool, and I'm using it for some hacking projects on the side. But when it comes time to do something industrial strength it would still be a very tough call for me even today.
I would love to do a Lisp-based startup, and a CL based startup in particular. If anyone out there shares this interest please let me know.
