I use Lisp all the time :)  Seriously, I have commercial an non-commercial

projects involving Lisp and I avoid other programming languages if I can.

 

- Are you using Lisp as much as you would like to?

  If not, why not?

 

Yes.

Always.

I have one open position at the moment.

  If not, would you be interested in such meetings?

 

I visited the Hamburg meeting of Edi Weitz and the Workshop in Oslo.  I will

attend other meetings if schedule and budget allows it.
