> Do you use Lisp:

>  - at work (if so, how much)

 

whenever it's a programming job and i have choice in the tools

(approximatly 70% of the time).

 

>   - for study (if so, how much)

 

yes, unless it's a Java course.

 

>   - as a hobby (if so, how much)

 

No, I spend enough time in front of a computer as it is.

 

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

 

No.

 

>   If not, why not?

 

There are only 24 hours in a day. :)

 

> Do you see any obstacles to further Lisp growth (if so, what is the

> biggest obstacle in your opinion)?

 

The only major obstacle is prejudice, but as younger programmers

arrive this becomes less and less of an issue.

 

However, I win a lot of contracts thanks to lisp, so I should be

quiet.

 

> Would you be interested in a Lisp-related job or contract work?

 

yes, contract work only.

 

> Is your organization interested in hiring Lisp programmers?

 

yes, especially if you have marketing experience.

 

> Are you currently participating in Lisp-related meetings?

 

no.

 

>   If not, would you be interested in such meetings?

 

yes.
