I, Dénes Cselovszky, do solemnly offer these my responses to The Road to Lisp Survey:
When did you first try Lisp seriously, and which Lisp family member was it?
Common Lisp, in 2002. Stuck instantly.
What led you to try Lisp?
I found the Tunes Project in 2001, and I liked their ideas. They refered extensively to the Lisp Machine platform as an ideological base. I learned only some not-so-high-level languages before, so Lisp hit me: I always wanted something like it.
What other languages have you been using most?
Pascal, C, x68 asm, some Basic (on C64).
How far have you gotten in your study of Lisp?
Currently I'm just a hobby programmer. Since 2002, all my programming efforts took place in Common Lisp.
What do you think of Lisp so far?
Lisp is smarter than me, but I'm learning.
