For CL: openmcl, sbcl, cmucl, acl trial version, lispworks personal,

For scheme: guile, mzscheme. 
  
For Emacs Lisp: guess :-)

Hard to say: I learnt the language about 6 years ago but haven't 
used 
it intensively very much.

C/C++, 7 or so years 
Python, 6 years 
Haskell, just a little. 
  
> - Total number of years of programming experience: 
  
About 8?

A little.

A little more.

I'm not unhappy.  Almost all my programming is for fun anyway :-)

The CL community isn't a very nice place.  (The Python community is 
probably the reason I am a "Python programmer" more than a "CL 
programmer").

Yes.

Not to my knowledge.

No, n/a, maybe (if they were cheap).
