- Do you use Lisp:
 - at work (if so, how much)
 
Lisp is the only language we use at work
 
 - for study (if so, how much)
 
Have used Lisp for several courses at university.
 
 - as a hobby (if so, how much)
 
I am interested in Web programming using Lisp, and have been developing personal projects with 
AllegroServe and Webactions.
 
 
- Are you using Lisp as much as you would like to?
 If not, why not?
 
I am using it as much as I would like to, however not for all that I would like to do with it.
This is because there is no support for TRUE web development based on Lisp.
 
 
- Do you see any obstacles to further Lisp growth (if so, what
 is the biggest obstacle in your opinion)?
 
The biggest obstacle is the lack of a common platform and tools that would allow the usage of Lisp 
along with the latest surrounding technologies. See the example of Java and C#, where you can find free 
libraries for everything, for instance.
 
 
- Would you be interested in a Lisp-related job or contract work?
 
Yes
 
 
 
- Is your organization interested in hiring Lisp programmers?
 
Not at the moment, I think.
 
 
- Are you currently participating in Lisp-related meetings?
 
No
 
 If so, where and how often?
 If not, would you be interested in such meetings?
 
Yes
