Describe JP Massar here I, JP Massar, 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?

1980, Franz Lisp on a VAX running BSD.

What led you to try Lisp? The job required it, and I was eager to program in Lisp after having learned it a bit at MIT.

Where did your road originate? The Lisp 1.5 Manual which I read and didn't digest very well as an undergraduate.

What do you think of Lisp so far?

The nuts.
