Common Lisp, Scheme, Maclisp, Emacs Lisp 
  
- 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, SBCL, Multics Maclisp, Emacs Lisp, Guile, STk, Elk. RScheme. 
  
- Lisp implementations you're currently using or intend to use 
  in the near future: 
  
CMUCL, SBCL. 
  
- Computer platforms on which you're using or deploying Lisp: 
  
GNU/Linux x86 
  
- Number of years of experience with Lisp: 
  
8-20 depending on how you count. 
  
- Do you use Lisp: 
  - at work (if so, how much) 
a few hours per week 
  - for study (if so, how much) 
no
  - as a hobby (if so, how much) 
a few hours per week 
  
- Are you using Lisp as much as you would like to? 
  If not, why not? 
  
  No, because my daytime job is "Teacher/Researcher" and I have lots 
  of other things to do. 
  
- Do you see any obstacles to further Lisp growth (if so, what 
  is the biggest obstacle in your opinion)? 
  
  Incompetence in the software industry (developers, managers and PDGs 
  do not understand about productivity in software development) 
  Incompetence at universities (professors have little or no training 
  in programming) 
  
- Would you be interested in a Lisp-related job or contract work? 
  
  Contract work, perhaps. 
  
- Is your organization interested in hiring Lisp programmers? 
  
  No.

  If so, where and how often? 
  If not, would you be interested in such meetings? 
  
  Yes, I meet with a small Bordeaux-based group at my home about once 
  every two months. 
  
- Do you know any other Lispers who might be willing to fill in 
  this questionnaire (please supply their email-address if you 
  do)? 
  
  I'll pass it on to them.
