- Do you use Lisp:
  - at work (if so, how much)
 
no longer
 
  - for study (if so, how much)
 
a bit
 
  - as a hobby (if so, how much)
 
too much
 
- Are you using Lisp as much as you would like to?
  If not, why not?
 
Yes; but I don't get paid for using it.
 
- Do you see any obstacles to further Lisp growth (if so, what
  is the biggest obstacle in your opinion)?
 
There are too many (Common) Lisp implementations.  This makes it
difficult and expensive to build any kind of infrastructure
(libraries, tools, tutorials, etc.).  It also makes the community look
smaller than it is.

Yes.

  If so, where and how often?
