 Less than one. 
  
 - Do you use Lisp: 
  
  - at work (if so, how much) 
 Not yet 
  - for study (if so, how much) 
 About 2 hours a week 
  
  - as a hobby (if so, how much) 
 About 2 hours a week 
  
 - Are you using Lisp as much as you would like to? 
  If not, why not? 
  
 No, I'm trying to learn it well enough to do web projects 
  
 - Do you see any obstacles to further Lisp growth (if so, what 
  is the biggest obstacle in your opinion)? 
  
 I think a lot of people in business still associate it with the 
failure of AI and it's not modern.  The Lisp community has to do more 
education for the rest of the technology industry on Lisp's advantages.
