- Do you use Lisp: 
  - at work (if so, how much) 
  - for study (if so, how much) 
  - as a hobby (if so, how much) 
All 3; it varies but I do study/hobby hacking roughly daily and paid 
work only occasionally. 
  
- Are you using Lisp as much as you would like to? 
  If not, why not? 
More Lisp at work would be nice. 
  
- Do you see any obstacles to further Lisp growth (if so, what 
  is the biggest obstacle in your opinion)? 
It ought to keep growing for now but isn't likely to ever reach the 
mainstream without some new hook. 
  
- Would you be interested in a Lisp-related job or contract work? 
Yes. 
  
- Is your organization interested in hiring Lisp programmers? 
Not at the moment. 
  
- Are you currently participating in Lisp-related meetings? 
  If so, where and how often? 
  If not, would you be interested in such meetings? 
CRACL in Los Angeles roughly monthly.  I would also like to meet 
hackers interested in more code-focused gatherings.
