   Arthur>  if possible. 
  
cmucl (http://www.cons.org/cmucl) 
matlisp (http://matlisp.sourceforge.net) 
series (http://series.sourcforge.net) 
f2cl (part of http://clocc.sourceforg.net) 
maxima (http://maxima.sourceforge.net) 
  
Dabbled and contributed random things to gcl, clisp, random other 
packages that I now longer remember or no longer use. 
  
   Arthur> - Lisp variants you have used (e.g. Common Lisp, Scheme, Dylan): 
  
Common Lisp, Scheme 
  
   Arthur> - Lisp variants you're currently using or intend to use in the 
   Arthur>  near future: 
  
CMUCL.  Maybe SBCL, Openmcl, ABCL.  Play with clisp and gcl, but 
usually only for testing maxima or making sure series, f2cl, 
etc. work. 
  
   Arthur> - Lisp implementations you have used 
   Arthur>  (e.g. CMUCL, Lispworks, Allegro Common Lisp): 
  
CMUCL, SBCL, Clisp, gcl, Lispworks, Allegro Common Lisp. 
  
   Arthur> - Lisp implementations you're currently using or intend to use 
   Arthur>  in the near future: 
  
CMUCL, maybe SBCL. 
  
   Arthur> - Computer platforms on which you're using or deploying Lisp: 
  
Solaris, Linux/x86, Mac OS X 
  
   Arthur> - Number of years of experience with Lisp: 
  
About 10 with Lisp, about 20 if you count elisp. 
  
   Arthur> - Do you use Lisp: 
   Arthur>  - at work (if so, how much) 
  
Yes, but less and less, and only when I can sneak it in. 
  
   Arthur>  - for study (if so, how much) 
  
As in school?  Not at all. 
  
   Arthur>  - as a hobby (if so, how much) 
  
Quite a bit. 
  
   Arthur> - Are you using Lisp as much as you would like to? 
  
Yes and no.  Work doesn't use it, but on non-work hours, I do play 
with Lisp.  But I did sneak it in on an old project and used as my 
reference for the entire simulation chain (for my part of the 
project). 
  
   Arthur>  If not, why not? 
  
Coworkers and projects probably wouldn't like it. 
  
   Arthur> - Do you see any obstacles to further Lisp growth (if so, what 
   Arthur>  is the biggest obstacle in your opinion)? 
  
Lack of reasonably standard libraries for things people expect to 
have:  FFI, GUI, networking, web stuff. 
  
   Arthur> - Would you be interested in a Lisp-related job or contract work? 
  
Job, yes.  Contract, probably not. 
  
   Arthur> - Is your organization interested in hiring Lisp programmers? 
  
There are some Lisp jobs within Ericsson, but I don't know if they're 
hiring.  We certainly aren't. 
  
   Arthur> - Are you currently participating in Lisp-related meetings? 
  
No. 
  
   Arthur>  If so, where and how often? 
   Arthur>  If not, would you be interested in such meetings? 
  
Yes, most likely.  All depends on who and where, of course.
