If so, please supply bibliographical references (and URL's, if possible).   - Have you developed or participated in the development of any Lisp-related programs or libraries? If so, please supply a URL, if possible. I maintain a Common-Lisp implementation called ECL (http://ecls.sf.net)   - Lisp variants you have used (e.g. Common Lisp, Scheme, Dylan): Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, Autolisp   - Lisp variants you're currently using or intend to use in the near future: Common Lisp   - Lisp implementations you have used (e.g. CMUCL, Lispworks, Allegro Common Lisp): CMUCL, CLISP, ECL, GCL   - Lisp implementations you're currently using or intend to use in the near future: ECL, SBCL   - Computer platforms on which you're using or deploying Lisp: Linux, Windows, MacOSX   - Number of years of experience with Lisp: 7   - Do you use Lisp: - at work (if so, how much) scarcely, for local webservices - for study (if so, how much) - as a hobby (if so, how much) all the time   - Are you using Lisp as much as you would like to? If not, why not? Not yet, because Lisp is not yet a suitable platform for numerical analysis.   - Do you see any obstacles to further Lisp growth (if so, what is the biggest obstacle in your opinion)? Lack of manpower.   - Would you be interested in a Lisp-related job or contract work? Maybe.   - Is your organization interested in hiring Lisp programmers? No.   - Are you currently participating in Lisp-related meetings? If so, where and how often? If not, would you be interested in such meetings?
